Factor loadings and covariances for the two-factor model.

Unstandardized regression weights of scale items onto subscale factors and covariances (all coefficients are significant at p < 0.001 unless otherwise noted)
Item	Information Engagement
I like to gather as much information as I can before making a decision	0.71
I like to review information multiple times before making a decision	0.75
After I've made a decision, I continue to look for related information	0.59
I like to make decisions quickly (reverse scored)	0.32
	Information Apprehension
I have difficulty making sense of information from multiple sources	0.60
I fear that I might find out something I don't want to know	0.58
I feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available	0.83
I think it's the doctor's job to deal with information, not mine	0.35
Covariance Estimates
Information Approach – Information Apprehension	-0.11 (p = 0.22)
Error term for “continue to look” – Error term for “make decisions quickly”	-0.11 (p = 0.15)
Error term for “review information” – Error term for “make decisions quickly”	0.20 (p = 0.01)
