Notes: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. For description of each indicator code, please refer to Appendix B. Only paths that are theoretically meaningful are added and only paths with significant coefficients (p < 0.05) are included in the final model. Correlations between observed indicators are not shown. The model is constructed using the MLR estimator (maximum likelihood estimation with robust standard errors) in Mplus V6.1. The number of total observations is 11 361. For easy interpretation, all indicators are transformed into positive signs before SEM, that is, the higher value indicates a better status of well-being. For some indicators with negative coefficients here, the meaning is that the better level of those indicators is associated to the worse status of corresponding sub-index due to certain context-specific reasons (see notes for Appendix B).
