¹ Even though the unstandardized factors loadings are invariant over time, the standardized factor loading of the first ED item is different at Time 1 due to the lack of invariance of its uniqueness; OE = overeating; PE = picky eating; ED = eating disorders; ω = composite reliability coefficient (McDonald, 1970); Non statistically significant (p ≤ .05) parameters are in italics
