Items	Rural attitude	Rural identity	Urban attitude
“How much do you see yourself belonging to a rural community?”	−0.098	0.747	−0.035
“How much is being from a rural community a part of who you are?”	0.055	0.578	0.072
“How much do you identify with people who live in rural communities?”	0.359	0.319	−0.048

Rurality scale for self-perceived responses is Likert in nature (ordinal). Component/factor 1 = rural attitude, component/factor 2 = rural identity, component/factor 3 = urban identity.
