Figure 3 presents the SEM (32% of the variance of ALC PROBS explained, f2 = .47), reporting significant beta weights for paths, correlations, and the R2s for endogenous latent components. Fit statistics for the SEM were satisfactory, including CFI=.94, NNFI=.92, RMSEA=.063 (.058–.068), and Standardized RMR=.039. Relationships within the SEM included that SRE5-LR related to ALC PROBS both directly and potentially indirectly via a path through PEER drinking. Note that mediation is formally tested below. PEER then related directly to ALC PROBS and potentially through EXPECT, and COPE. EXPECT potentially related to ALC PROBS indirectly through COPE. As described earlier, a SRE5-LR by impulsivity interaction term did not relate to ALC PROBS.
