Notes: All items in exploratory factor analysis will have loadings on all factors; shown here are only the largest factor loadings (cut-off = 0.3) that were significant (p ≤ 0.05). ‘Manage BF’ was removed from the final model because it had no significant factor loading in the Two-factor model; ‘Challenging task’ was dropped because it was below the threshold of 0.3
