Note. Wave 3 data are presented because these participants were administered the final complete items set developed across the three waves. M and SD values for item endorsements reflect a 4-point response format, with scores for all items coded such that 0 = low and 3 = high, respectively, on the underlying trait. α = Cronbach’s alpha for constituent items (range = 3-11) of each facet scale. θ = facet scale scores computed using item-response theory based maximum likelihood estimation; Em = facet scale scores computed as mean item endorsement values.
