Note1: Principal axis factoring with the Promax rotation (oblique) was used because the factors were expected to be correlated with each other. The eigen-value greater-than-1-rule was used as the criterion for retaining factors.

Note2: Items indicated by * are reverse-coded items.

Note3: The bolded coefficients highlight the highest coefficients and the bolded italicized coefficients highlight those showing less than 2.0 difference
