The four latent variables are each represented by a circular node labeled “Informal Student Learning (T 1)”, “Career Adaptability (T 1)”, “Future Sustainable Career (T 2)”, and “Employability Prospects (T 2)”. “Informal Student Learning (T 1)” is positioned at the top left. From “Informal Student Learning (T 1)”, four arrows point downward to four circular first-order factors labeled from left to right as: “Trial and error”, “Fellow Students”, “Reflection”, and “Intent to Learn”. These arrows are labeled “1.00”, “0.69 double asterisk (0.21)”, “1.10 triple asterisk (0.25)”, and “1.33 triple asterisk (0.33)”, respectively. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Informal Student Learning (T 1)” with the value “0.22”. From “Trial and error”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 1”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Trial and error” with the value “0.09”. From “Fellow Students”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 2”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Fellow Students” with the value “0.64”. From “Reflection”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 3”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Reflection” with the value “0.28”. From “Intent to Learn”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 4”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Intent to Learn” with the value “0.29”. Each of the rectangles “Parcel 1”, “Parcel 2”, “Parcel 3”, and “Parcel 4” has an arrow connecting to itself with the values “0.18”, “0.12”, “0.08”, and “0.17”, respectively. A right-pointing arrow labeled “0.54 double asterisk (0.17)” extends from “Informal Student Learning (T 1)” to “Career Adaptability (T 1)”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Career Adaptability (T 1)” with the value “0.11”. From “Career Adaptability (T 1)”, four arrows point downward to four circular first-order factors labeled from left to right as: “Concern”, “Control”, “Curiosity”, and “Confidence”. These arrows are labeled “1.00”, “1.23 triple asterisk (0.19)”, “1.03 triple asterisk (0.18)”, and “1.48 triple asterisk (0.29)”, respectively. From “Concern”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 5”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Concern” with the value “0.13”. From “Control”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 6”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Control” with the value “0.06”. From “Curiosity”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 7”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Curiosity” with the value “0.08”. From “Confidence”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 8”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Confidence” with the value “0.02”. Each of the rectangles “Parcel 5”, “Parcel 6”, “Parcel 7”, and “Parcel 8” has an arrow connecting to itself with the values “0.06”, “0.07”, “0.06”, and “0.05”, respectively. A right-pointing arrow labeled “0.63 triple asterisk (0.14)” extends from “Career Adaptability (T 1)” to “Future Sustainable Career (T 2)”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Future Sustainable Career (T 2)” with the value “0.11”. From “Future Sustainable Career (T 2)”, four arrows point downward to four circular first-order factors labeled from left to right as: “Happiness”, “Productivity”, “Health”, and “Social impact”. These arrows are labeled “1.00”, “1.02 triple asterisk (0.26)”, “0.78 triple asterisk (0.15)”, and “1.14 triple asterisk (0.18)”, respectively. From “Happiness”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 9”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Happiness” with the value “0.06”. From “Productivity”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 10”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Productivity” with the value “0.05”. From “Health”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 11”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Health” with the value “0.20”. From “Social impact”, an arrow with the label “1.00” points downward to the rectangle labeled “Parcel 12”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Social impact” with the value “0.25”. Each of the rectangles “Parcel 9”, “Parcel 10”, “Parcel 11”, and “Parcel 12” has an arrow connecting to itself with the values “0.05”, “0.06”, “0.10”, and “0.04”, respectively. A right-pointing arrow labeled “0.49 double asterisk (0.16)” extends from “Future Sustainable Career (T 2)” to “Employability Prospects (T 2)”. An arrow connecting to itself is shown on “Employability Prospects (T 2)” with the value “0.10”. From “Employability Prospects (T 2)”, four arrows point downward to four rectangles labeled from left to right as: “Item 1”, “Item 2”, “Item 3”, and “Item 4”. These arrows are labeled “1.00”, “1.40 triple asterisk (0.33)”, “1.48 triple asterisk (0.41)”, and “1.72 triple asterisk (0.42)”, respectively. Each of the rectangles “Item 1”, “Item 2”, “Item 3”, and “Item 4” has an arrow connecting to itself with the values “0.30”, “0.27”, “0.27”, and “0.28”, respectively.Parameter estimates for the latent mediation model. Note(s): ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01. Coefficients are unstandardized. Standard errors are reported in parentheses. The residual variance of each parcel was fixed to (1 − reliability) multiplied by the variance of the observed parcel score. Source(s): Authors’ own work
