^aThe scales shown were obtained from the exploratory factor analysis previously illustrated in Table 1, reduced in size. For the sake of brevity, the observed variables related to the individual constructs have been omitted. Only α Cronbach values for the latent variables are shown, all perfectly in line with the expected cut-off level (CTL > 0.70) (α values were 0.77, 0.73, 0.84, and 0.91, respectively).
