  1. Note: All standardized residuals of the a priori and post hoc modified models are within the accepted range of ≤ +/− 1.96. The largest values (−1.668, − 1.380, 1.390) indicate that the a priori model does not account very well for the correlations between CNL1 and CNL4, CNL2 and CNL5, and CNL4 and CNL5 respectively. Adding parameters between the error covariances of CNL1 and CNL4, and CNL2 and CNL5 in the post hoc modified model results into a decrease in the residual values, indicating better fit
