  1. Based on a Velicer’s minimum average partial test suggesting a 3-factor structure for the German BPS (random subsample of N = 284 participants), we applied a confirmatory factor analysis (data from N = 571 participants) revealing poor goodness of this model.
  2. CFI: Comparative Fit Index; RMSEA: Root Mean Square Error of Approximation; SRMR: Standardized Root Mean Square Residual; DFI: Goodness of Fit Index; MAP test: Velicer’s minimum average partial test.
