a

Model 1 is a one-factor model that all items loaded on the same construct (QoL).

b

Model 2 is a two-factor model proposed by Santos et al. (16): items Q1–Q8 in the factor 1; items Q9–Q13 in the factor 2.

c

Model 3 is a two-factor model suggested by Caballero et al. (15): items Q1–Q8 in the factor 1; items Q1, Q9–Q13 in the factor 2.

d

Model 4 is a bifactor model proposed by Santos et al. (16): items Q1–Q8 in the factor 1; items Q9–Q13 in the factor 2; all the items embedded in an additional construct of QoL.

e

CFI, comparative fit index; TLI, Tucker-Lewis index; SRMR, standardized root mean square residual; RMSEA, root mean square error of approximation.
