Covariance between error terms of two negatively oriented items in the emotional health domain: depression and anxiety.
Without the item “I regularly do things to maintain and improve my health, in diet, exercise, and health care.”
Covariance between error terms of items: “My life has a clear sense of purpose” and “I understand my purpose in life” due to the similar wording and the method effect (these items were placed one after another in the questionnaire).
Covariance between error terms of the only two items refereeing particularly to participant's broader community: “I feel connected to the broader community around” and “People in my broader community trust and respect one another.”
Covariance between error terms of the only two negatively oriented items: “How often do you worry about food, housing, or health expenses?” And “The amount of debt I have often overwhelms me.”
Covariance between error terms of (1) two negatively oriented items in the financial security domain; (2) two negatively oriented items in the emotional health domain; and (3) the only two items referring particularly to a participant's broader community in the social connectedness domain; detailed factor loading structure with cross-loadings is presented in the Supplementary Material 2, Table A5.
