^a Models 3–11 and model 13 control for response sets (acquiescence and extreme responding). ^b These significant differences were determined based on MIMIC model significant regression coefficients across dummy-coded grouping variables (see Table 1 of Supplementary Materials). ^c The two higher-order latent factors are (1) feelings towards the partner and (2) feelings about the relationship. χ² = robust χ² test of global fit (equivalent to Yuan-Bentler corrected test statistic). Measures of CFI and RMSEA are based on robust estimates for nonnormal data (Brosseau-Liard et al., 2012; Brosseau-Liard & Savalei, 2014)
