Notes: All latent factors under the referenced phone mode were standardized with a mean (θ̄Phone) of zero and a variance ( σPhone2) of one. The PC-mode mean and variance estimates were respectively tested against the reference values. Factor autocorrelation estimates (ϕPC·Phone) were tested against zero. Significant p values were marked with an asterisk after a Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05/50 = 0.001).
