q3 · i? · associational · r3

Multigroup RI-CCLPM analyses across the three ProFAN conditions (jigsaw n = 3,383; cooperation n = 3,207; business-as-usual n = 2,767). Constraining effects equal across conditions produced "no meaningful differences" (∆χ2(10) = 11.4, p = .325 in mathematics; ∆χ2(8) = 4.5, p = .807 in French), supporting a pooled full-sample solution.

"Formal comparisons of models constraining effects to be equal or different across conditions showed no meaningful differences, either in terms of model deviance (∆ χ2 (10) = 11 .4,p = .325 in mathematics, ∆ χ2 (8) = 4.5,p = .807 in French) or in approximate fit indices ( ∆CF I =0 .000 and ∆RMSEA =0 .000 in both domains)."
