Summary of results from factor analysis. Dominant elements in each factor, arranged in order of factor loading weight. Only factor loadings >0.40 were listed. Bold text denotes factor loading ≥ 0.90. Numerical percentage is cumulative variance. N/A denotes factors not present. (Additional details in Tables S5a, S5b, S7a, and S7b).
