Item loadings with respect to two factors describing the value system of the participants and Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients: Rotated component matrix. ^†, ^‡, ^§, ^¶

Items	Factors
	7	8
B2: I usually accept my peers’ beliefs about what are important in life		0.841
B3: I usually accept that my peers will do what they say	-	0.733
B1: I usually live according to the religious values of my peers	-	0.591
B16: I usually accept important persons in my life as being good examples for me on sexual issues	0.871	-
B17: I usually accept important persons in my life as being good examples for me on relationships	0.836	-
B15: I usually accept that important persons in my life will do what they say that they will do	0.662	-

Extraction method: Principal component analysis.

^†, Rotation method: Varimax with Kaiser normalisation, explained variance is 62.21%.

^‡, Rotation converged in three iterations.

^§, Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy = 0.624.

^¶, Bartlett’s test of sphericity p = 0.000.

^††, Cronbach’s alpha: 0.858 (six items) – factor 7i: 0.715 (three items); factor 8i: 0.558 (three items).
