3 Transactional processes between support and depressive symptoms 93 constrained the lagged effect from parental support to adolescent depressive symptoms to be equal for both groups (i.e., boys vs. girls, or low- vs. high-neuroticism adolescents) and one in which we constrained the reverse lagged effect. With a chi-square difference test, we tested whether the unconstrained model (i.e., with freely estimated parameters for both groups) fitted better than the constrained model in which a lagged effect was set equal for both groups. If the chi-square difference test was significant, we assumed differences between groups in the specific lagged effect. With all model tests, the SatorraBentler scaled chi-square difference tests was used with MLR (i.e., with daily dataset), and a regular chi-square difference test was used with ML.
