Results of measures The measurements were subjected to various exploratory factor analyses by using principle components with varimax rotation. Few of the items had loading problems below the accepted cut level of 0.50 and were not logically identified with any of the factors (Heene, M., Hilbert, S., Draxler, C., Ziegler, M., & Bühner, M., 2011).
