Path diagram for two‐factor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for the Japanese version of the Public Attitudes Toward Epilepsy Scale (PATE‐J). The model includes two latent factors: “Personal Domain” and “General Domain.” Observed variables (items) are represented as rectangles, while latent variables are represented as ovals. The arrows indicate the relationships between latent variables and their respective observed variables, with standardized factor loadings displayed along each arrow. For the Personal Domain, standardized factor loadings ranged from 0.437 (Q8) to 0.85 (Q1), while for the General Domain, loadings ranged from 0.474 (Q10) to 0.8 (Q12). All factor loadings were statistically significant (p < 0.001), indicating strong associations between observed items and their respective latent factors. The bidirectional arrow between the Personal Domain and General Domain represents the covariance between the two latent factors, with a standardized estimate of 0.868 (p < 0.001), suggesting a moderate positive relationship. These results support the validity of the two‐factor structure of the PATE‐J. This diagram provides a clear visualization of the factor structure and relationships within the model, demonstrating the robustness of the PATE‐J for measuring public attitudes toward epilepsy in the Japanese cultural context.
