Factor Correlations for the SCMS Using Principal Axis Factoring With Oblimin Rotation (N = 431)
| Factor (k = # of items) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Future self (k = 6) | 1.00 | ||||
| 2. Modeling (k = 3) | .34 | 1.00 | |||
| 3. Self-enhancement (k = 4) | .33 | .29 | 1.00 | ||
| 4. Similarity identification (k = 3) | –.40 | –.42 | –.31 | 1.00 | |
| 5. Distancing (k = 3) | .43 | .25 | .31 | –.36 | 1.00 |
Note. δ set at –1 to achieve interfactor correlations of approximately .30 (Nunnally & Bernstein, 1994)
