Rotated Factor Pattern and Final Communality Estimates From Principal Components Analysis of Fatalistic Questions

	Component

	1	2	h² ^a
1. Cancer of the cervix is beyond my control	.34	.66	0.55
2. Cancer of any kind is a death sentence	.76	−.11	0.58
3. Cancer of the cervix is almost always fatal	.64	.12	0.42
4. Cancer is a disease that cannot be avoided	.63	.27	0.47
5. If it were fated for me to get cervical cancer getting vaccinated against HPV would not prevent it	.11	.83	0.70
6. Women in my family get cervical cancer so I will probably get it also	.69	−.12	0.49
7. Faith is all I need to prevent diseases and illness	.48	.31	0.32
8. I am not in control of my own health	−.27	.75	0.63

N = 344. Communality estimates appear in column headed h².

“Inevitability of cancer” = Questions 2, 3, 4, 6, 7.

“Lack of control over cancer” = Questions 1, 5, 8.
