TABLE 5.
Factor correlations and internal consistencies of the factors for both the B-ICM-CFA (Model 6) and ESEM Solution (Model 8).
| No | Variable | ρ | α | ρesem | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| (1) | Interest | 0.79 | 0.79 | 0.73 | – | 0.28 | 0.00 |
| (2) | Perseverance | 0.78 | 0.76 | 0.71 | 0.56 | – | |
| (3) | General factor (overall grit) | 0.77 | 0.79 | – | 0.00 | 0.00 | – |
B-ICM-CFA correlations are shown below the diagonal; ESEM correlations are shown above the diagonal. ρ = composite reliability (rho); α = Cronbach’s alpha. ρesem all factors related statistically significantly (p < 0.05).
