IRM: Nondirective support	M²(df = 5) = 28, p < .05	.087 [.058–.119]	.93	0.12	No LD / No DRF
IRM: Supportive expectations	Fit indices not computed when items are less than 10				No LD / No DRF
IRM: Facilitation	Fit indices not computed when items are less than 10				1 LD / No DRF
IRM: Restrict inside PA	Fit indices not computed when items are less than 10				1 LD / No DRF
IRM: Allow unsupervised PA outside	Fit indices not computed when items are less than 10				1 LD / No DRF

χ² / M² = Chi-square, RMSEA Root Mean Square Error of Approximation, 90% CI 90% Confidence Interval, where upper 90%CI less than. 10 is indicative of a good fit; CFI Comparative Fit Index, where values>.90 to 95 indicative of a good fit; WRMR Weighted Room Mean Residual, where values less than 2.0 indicative of a good fit. SRMR Standardized Root Mean Residual, where values less than .08 indicative of a good fit, LD Local Dependence, DRF Differential Response Functioning
