Note. Values could range from 0 to 16. Factor loadings greater than 0.316 (i.e., have at least 10% shared variance with a corresponding factor) are in bold. To facilitate easier interpretation of the factor analysis, items loading onto similar residual factors are organized together, rather than in the same order in which they occur in the ARSS-AUV. ARSS-AUV= Adolescent Reinforcement Survey Schedule – Alcohol Use Version, RF1-RF4 = residual factors, ICC = intraclass correlation.
