In the second 3-factor ESEM model (CFI = .97; TLI = .95, RMSEA = .01), ASPD was not included as an indicator in the measurement part of the model but included as a covariate instead. As shown in Table 2, ASPD is significantly associated with the externalizing factor, and significantly higher than that of all other PDs. The association between schizotypal PD and the externalizing factor is no longer statistically significant with the inclusion of ASPD in the structural model, while the remaining PD regression coefficients are largely unchanged. The PD regression coefficients with respect to both internalizing factors are essentially unchanged for both models (Tables 1 and 2).
