Note. CFA = confirmatory factor analysis; PESE = Perceived Empathic Self-Efficacy; PSSE = Perceived Social Self-Efficacy. One value under Factor loadings or Intercepts columns mean invariant constraints (i.e., the same factor loading/intercept held across the three countries).
a
This value differed statistically from the other two in the same column under Intercepts.
