Note: p factor = general psychopathology factor, β = standardized estimates, b = unstandardized estimates, LL = lower limit of 95% confidence interval, UL = upper limit of 95% confidence interval. Bold estimates and p values showed statistical significance with adjustment for multiple comparisons (q < .05; FDR). Albeit the analysis with the bifactor model was performed following the methods recommended by Koch et al. (2018), the table is presented as a traditional regression analysis to simplify its presentation.
