This is not a cultural validation study but it evaluated the construct validity of SST scores through factor analysis.

EFA = Exploratory Factor Analysis; CFA = Confirmatory Factor Analysis; NA = not available; Q2 = question 2; Q12 = question 12; Q8 = question 8; Q10 = question 10; CFI = Comparative Fit Index; TLI = Tucker-Lewis Index; CL = cross loading; RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Aproximation; F1 = one factor; F2 = two factors.
