Note. ECV is explained common variance, λ is factor loading on the first (1), second (2), general (Gen), or first or second group (Grp1, Grp2) factor, ϕ is factor correlation, θa.b is residual correlation between items a and b, ds is implausibility” distance, ω is model-based composite reliabilty and ωH is composite reliability based on general factor.
