Fig. 9: Two-factor and second-order models of pandemic fatigue.
From: Development and validation of the pandemic fatigue scale
A, B The two-factor model of pandemic fatigue with fully standardized factor loadings and (residual) variances for Denmark and Germany, respectively. C, D The second-order model of pandemic fatigue with fully standardized factor loadings and (residual) variances for Denmark and Germany, respectively. All models were estimated using robust maximum likelihood estimation with robust standard errors and a Satorra-Bentler scaled test statistic87. Item 1= ‘I am tired of all the COVID-19 discussions in TV shows, newspapers, and radio programs, etc.’; Item 2 = ‘I am sick of hearing about COVID-19’; Item 3 = ‘When friends or family members talk about COVID-19, I try to change the subject because I do not want to talk about it anymore’; Item 4 = ‘I feel strained from following all of the behavioral regulations and recommendations around COVID-19’; Item 5 = ‘I am tired of restraining myself to save those who are most vulnerable to COVID-19’; Item 6 = ‘I am losing my spirit to fight against COVID-19’. Response scale: 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = somewhat disagree, 4 = neutral/neither disagree nor agree, 5 = somewhat agree, 6 = agree, 7 = strongly agree.
