Factors extracted by Principal Component Analysis adopting eigenvalues >1.0 criterion. Factor loading (FL) value according to patterns extracted using rotation method Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. FL (in brackets) value >0.6 were maintained in the pattern.

Variance explained (%) of each factor retained. Cumulative variance of the 7 obtained factors: 58.61%.
