> -model "Valence*Predict*PCL5+Age+Sex"
Depending on your research hypothesis, the above model might be fine. Or alternatively, you may try
-model "Sex*Valence*Predict*PCL5+Age"
> -qVars "Age,Sex,PCL5"
Sex is not a quantitative variable, so remove from the above line.
> -qVarCenters ""
Does the average PCL5 values varies between the two valences and between the two Predict levels? If so, you may center within each level separately, and then set
-qVarCenters "0,0"
If not, remove the option -qVarCenters and let the program center around the overall average of PCL5.
> -ranEff '~1'
You want to account the random-slope effect of Age. So, change it to
-ranEff '~1+Age'
