Note. Items were not reverse coded. Bold factor loadings were the highest factor loadings; these items were permitted to load on the corresponding factor in the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A list of the items is presented in the Appendix. EFA = exploratory factor analysis.

^aItems A–D were removed in the CFA because of low loadings or loadings on more than one factor. Item D was from Murdock’s (1999) Educational Motivation Questionnaire, so 20 items from Murdock’s questionnaire were used in our final set of items.
