As shown in Table 2, this study tested nonrestricted measurement model and full metric invariance model 
across high and low BBL groups. According to the goodness-of-fit indices (
χ
2 = 1806.7, 
df
= 778, RMSEA=0.06, 
CFI =0.92, NFI =0.90) from the nonrestricted CFA model, the proposed measurement model was proved to fit the 
data. Full metric invariance was not supported, as the chi-square difference between nonrestricted measurement 
model and full metric invariance model was significant (
∆χ
2 (21) = 55.5, p < .05). Therefore, the partial metric 
invariance model was adopted by relaxing some invariant factor loadings. Finally, the partial metric invariance 
model with ten invariant factor loadings was supported with evidence that the chi-square difference between 
nonrestricted and partial metric invariance models was not significant (
∆χ
2 (10) = 14.8, p > .05). For the testing of 
structural invariance across two groups, partial metric invariance model was thus used as a baseline model to run 
structural model analysis (Yi & La, 2004).
