Following this primary path modeling analysis, we also conducted exploratory analyses to examine potential differences in path coefficients across adolescent sex. We used a multigroup model by removing sex from the path model and compared a model with paths constrained to equality with another model that had paths freely estimated between males and females. Wald test of parameter equalities was used to test whether there were significant sex differences in observed effects.
