Note. χ² = Chi-square; df = degrees of freedom; RMSEA = root mean square error of approximation; CFI = confirmatory fit index; SRMR = standardized root mean squared of the residuals.
*indicates statistically significant difference between nested models based on ∆CFI > |.010| supplemented by a ∆RMSEA > |.015|.
