We examined the original factor structure [12] on the present sample using confirmatory factor analysis. The Shapiro-Wilk Test for Multivariate Normality and the Mardia’s coefficients for multivariate skewness and kurtosis were significant (p < .001); we used the Diagonally Weighted Least Squares (DWLS) estimator [68]. The model with 16 factors and 48 items showed an acceptable fit, χ2(960) = 2004.989, p < .001, RMSEA = 0.045, 90% CI [0.043, 0.048], SRMS = 0.062, CFI = 0.980, TLI = 0.977.
