Note. We also ran a confirmatory factor analysis to test the 5-factor structure. These were the results: Fit measures: x2 (80) = 256.951 ,p < .001; comparative fix index = .941, root mean square error of approximation = .059; standardised root mean residual = 0.055 Standardised item loadings: neuroticism (0.72, 0.75, 0.81), extraversion (0.73, 0.84, 0.43), openness (0.67, 0.69, 0.68), agreeableness (0.76, 0.42, 0.72), conscientiousness (0.72, 0.73, 0.77)
