The conclusion in the model comparison section is based on a joint consideration of Δχ2 and ΔCFI. Chi-square statistics were estimated with the robust maximum likelihood (MLR) estimator and Δχ2 was calculated with the scale-adjusted chi-square difference test (http://www.thestatisticalmind.com/calculators/SBChiSquareDifferenceTest.htm, accessed 2021-09-06). df, degrees of freedom; RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation; SRMR, standardized root mean square residual; TLI, Tucker–Lewis Index; CFI, comparative fit index; CI, confidence interval. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001.
