Note: Measurement and structural invariance were analyzed using the first-order five-factor model.

Abbreviation: AIC, akaike information criterion; BIC, Bayesian information criterion; CFI, comparative fit index; CI, confidence interval; df, degree of freedom; RMSEA, root-mean-square error of approximation; SRMR, standardized root-mean-square residual; TLI, Tucker and Lewis index.
