   Notes: Fit statistics are maximum likelihood statistic and associated degrees of freedom (df) and probability value (P), and Normed Fit Index (NFI). Full model corresponds to Fig. 5; reduced models (Fig. 14) were obtained by constraining nonsignificant paths to zero. Analysis was conducted using the CALIS procedure in SAS, using observed covariance matrices given in Appendix K.
