^*Value given is a Normed Fit Index, rather than Non-Normed Fit Index.

AGFI = Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index; NNFI = Non-Normed Fit Index; TLI = Tucker Lewis Index; CFI = Comparative Fit Index; RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Approximation; AIC = Akaike Information Criterion.

^bthe path from perceived social status to hope was eliminated

^cthe path from perceived everyday discrimination to hope was eliminated

^dthe path from depression to empowerment was eliminated

^eboth the path from perceived everyday discrimination to hope, and the path from depression to empowerment, were eliminated
