T-MAPA Taiwan version of the Meaningful Activity Participation Assessment, SE standard error, MNSQ mean square, DIF differential item functioning.

^* indicates the item with DIF effect size > 0.64 logits. ^aEducation years are divided into 4 levels: L1 = 0–6, L2 = 7–9, L3 = 10–12, and L4 > 12 years. ^b indicates culturally adapted or newly added activities.
