Table 3. Unique Contributions of Factor Scores (3-Factor CFA-PC) in Predicting External Variables.

ΔR2
Sample Measure Predicted external variable General distress Agency Communion Interactions
Note.  Values of ΔR2 > .05 were considered substantial and are highlighted in bold print (the key of the association is noted in parentheses). ΔR² = unique variance explained in external variables; SCL-90-R = Symptom-Checklist-90-Revised; BSI = Brief Symptom Inventory; BIS = Barratt Impulsiveness Scale; EQ = Empathy Quotient; OAS = The Other as Shamer Scale; DERS = Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale; SPQ = Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire; PCL = Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale; SCID-I = Structured Clinical Interview for DSM–IV Axis-I disorders; SIDP-IV = Structured Interview for DSM–IV Personality; BFI-2 = Big-Five-Inventory 2; PID-5-100 = Personality Inventory for DSM–5; N = neuroticism; A = agreeableness; C = conscientiousness; E = extraversion; O = open-mindedness; NEG = negative affectivity; ANT = antagonism; DIS = disinhibition; DET = detachment; PSY = psychoticism.
