Figure 3.

Bi-factor model for the Mentalization Questionnaire (MZQ) with a general factor and three subscales. Large circles represent proposed factors, rectangles represent items (with corresponding item number), and small circles represent error terms (e). Numbers next to arrows in the model represent standardized estimates. F1 = factor 1 (‘mental states in oneself regarding others—cognition and communication’; F2 = factor 2 (‘mental states regarding oneself—affect-regulation’); F3 = factor 3 (‘mental states regarding oneself—affect-perception and -differentiation’).
