^aSecond test: eigenvalue highest outload 2.54 > 0; and lowest outload 0.87 < 0.
^bSecond test: eigenvalue highest outload 2.91 > 0; and lowest outload 0.66 < 0.
^cItem showed a factor loading below 0.4 and thus was excluded from the analysis (Churchill Jr, 1979).
^dWe run the model excluding this indicator with a low load. The results did not substantially change.
⁺This item was recoded because in its original form, it measured the latent variable in the opposite way.
No significant loadings/weights are those which: (1) values are outside of the Confidence Interval (CI) or (2) the Confidence Interval (CI) includes zero.
