Table 2. Indicators of factor analysis of SST reported in previous literature.
Reported Cultures Validations | EFA | CFA | ||

Lithuanian(Rylyskis et al., 2008) | NA | NA | NA | NA |
Dutch(Van Kampen et al., 2012) | NA | NA | 1 Dimension. Factors withlow loadings Q2 (0.39) andQ12 (0.43) | A 1-factor model fitted the data moderately. The CFI was 0.943, TLI was 0.931, and RMSEA was 0.068. Items 1, 2, and 12 had relatively low factor loadings |

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.
