aEFA: exploratory factor analysis.
bCFA: confirmatory factor analysis.
cFactor 1 was fully saturated, as it was a latent variable with 3 indicators. Because it was fully saturated, it had perfect model fit. Factor 2 only had 2 items. As such, factor 2 was underidentified and could not be fit to the data as a separate measurement model.
dRMSEA: root mean square error of approximation.
eCFI: comparative fit index.
fSRMR: standardized root mean square residual.
