Fit statistics included Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI), and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA).
2
MLR=full-information robust maximum likelihood estimator for continuous outcomes; WLSMV=Weighted Least Square Mean and Variance Adjusted (WLSMV) estimator with a probit link for categorical outcomes.
3
Analysis of mother and daughter reports at the level of the mother-daughter dyad.
*
Just identified models (no latent variables) fit the data perfectly.
