| F1 | F2 | |
| Dizzy | 0.52 | −0.02 |
| Wanted to throw up | 0.64 | 0.05 |
| Unpleasant or gross | 0.27a | 0.06 |
| Heart beat faster | 0.46 | 0.08 |
| Relaxed or calm | −0.03 | 0.53 |
| Head rush or buzz | 0.61 | −0.1 |
| Nice or pleasant | 0.25 | 0.39 |
| Liked the smell | −0.08 | 0.11 |
| Coughing or choking | 0.40 | −0.21 |
| Cronbach α | 0.64 | 0.44 |
| Interfactor correlation | 0.10 | |
| Summary score categories, % | ||
| F1 low (score 0 or 1)a | 39.9 | |
| F1 medium (score 2) | 24.2 | |
| F1 high (score ≥3) | 36.0 | |
| F2 low (score 0) | 75.6 | |
| F2 high (score 1 or 2) | 24.4 | |
F1 indicates factor 1 (unpleasant factor); F2, factor 2 (pleasant factor).
a
The unpleasant or gross item was included in the computation of the F1 summary score because it loaded significantly in the factor analysis in the full baseline sample.28
