Note: Structural equation modeling was used for the analyses. Weighted Least Squares Means and Variances (WLSMV) was used for model estimation. CFI = comparative fit index; TLI = Tucker Lewis Index; RMSEA = root-mean-square error of approximation; WRMR = weighted mean-square residual standardized.
*** p <.001.
In each Model A, respectively, the 20 items of MFQ, and MFSS are loaded into one factor.
In each Model B, Care, and Fairness items are loaded onto one factor, Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity items are loaded onto a second factor.
In each Model C, Care and Fairness items are loaded onto one factor, Loyalty and Authority factors are loaded onto a second factor, and Sanctity items are loaded onto a third factor.
In each Model D, Care items are loaded onto one factor, Fairness items are loaded onto a second factor, Loyalty items are loaded onto a third factor, Authority items are loaded onto a fourth factor, and Sanctity items are loaded onto a fifth factor.
