  1. Note. χ2, chi-squared test; df, degrees of freedom; p, p value; CFI, comparative fit index; TLI, Tucker-Lewis index; RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation; CI, confidence interval; SRMR, standardized root mean square residual. Change values compare the model to the previous model and comparison criteria are: ΔCFI < 0.010, ΔRMSEA < 0.015, ΔSRMR < 0.030
