(s) = aspect represented by independent scale. (i) = aspect represented by singular item. Dimensionality: Multi = Several expectation dimensions are each assessed by an independent scale; Mixed = Several expectation dimensions are assessed by single items that are subsumed in one scale; Single = Only one expectation dimension is assessed.
