Note. Nested models in constrains for multi-group analysis: UC = Unconstrained model, MW = model with constraints on the measurement weights, SW = model with constraints on the structural weights, SC = model with constrains on the structural covariances, SR = model with constrains on the structural residuals, and MR = model with constraints on measurement residuals. Fit indices: χ2 = likelihood-ratio chi-square statistic, df = degrees of freedom for the likelihood-ratio chi-square test, p = probability value under null hypothesis of goodness of fit at the likelihood-ratio chi-square test, χ2/df = relative chi-square, BS p = Bollen–Stine bootstrap probability value (with the simulation of 1000 random samples), GFI = Jöreskog-Sörbom goodness-of-fit index, IFI = incremental fit index through Bollen’s coefficient delta-2, CFI = Bentler’s comparative fit index, RMSEA (90% CI) = point estimation and interval estimate with 90% confidence level for Steiger-Lind root mean square error of approximation, LB = lower boundary and UB = upper boundary of a two-sided 90% confidence interval for population RMSEA, p-close = probability value under null hypothesis of close fit: H0 = RMSEA ≤ 0.05, and SRMR = standardized root mean square residuals.
