Goodness of fit indices of the initial and reduced models.

Goodness-of-Fit Measure	Guideline for Acceptable Fit	Initial Model	Reduced Model
Χ2/df	<3	14.9/11 = 1.3	20.9/23 = 0.91
Standardized root mean square residual (SRMR)	<0.080	0.041	0.049
Root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) with 90% confidence interval	<0.06, upper limit < 0.08	0.05 (0.0–0.11)	0.0 (0.0–0.06)
Comparative fit index (CFI)	>0.95	0.98	1.0
Bayesian information criterion (BIC)	Lower value implies more parsimonious fit	228.6	175.9
