Multi-group structural equation model. Variances (V1–V6) and intercepts (I1–I6) are group specific. Loading parameters (p1–p4) are fixed across groups while the regression parameter (p5) is group specific. The model is compared to a model with fixed p5; LV: latent variable for emotion dysregulation; K-10: Kessler Psychological distress scale, NESDA version of K-10; CPRS: EL: Conners’ parent rating scale, revised, long version, emotional lability subscale; SDQ: E: Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire, emotional symptoms subscale; SDQ: C: Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire, conduct symptoms subscale.
