N = 128. h2 = communalities. Factors extracted from the factor correlation matrix from Table 2 using a maximum likelihood estimation and rotated using the promax and varimax procedures. The Pro-Social factor for both structures were reflected, that is, the loadings were multiplied by -1. The promax-rotated factors correlated -0.15. Factor loadings greater than or equal to |0.4| are in bold.
