The final model. The final results are presented in the model in Figure 2 (unstandardized
parameter estimates for this model can be obtained from the authors). Because of the results
described above of the tests for factorial invariance, added components, and omitted paths, the
hypothesized model (Figure 1) was extended by including significant wave-skipping paths,
one reversed causal path between SBT2 and SCT3, and covariances between the latent variable
disturbances.
