Note. ASCV = Ambiguous sexual Cybervictimization; PSCV = Personal sexual; Cybervictimization; M = Mean; SD = Standard deviation; Skewness = Skewness statistic; Kurtosis = Kurtosis statistic; SE = Standard error statistic; Floor effect = percentage of participants who responded ‘never’; λ = factor loading of the rotated solution; h = communality.
The descriptive analyses correspond to the total sample (N = 601) and the results of the exploratory factor analysis correspond to approximately 50% of the sample (n = 309). The correlations between items varied from .21 to .64.
