  1. Item enumeration, item assignment, and marker items for the two-factor model (#) and the nine-factor model ($) are according to Schulz, Schlotz, and Becker [17]. h 2 = explained variance by the respective factor or item communalities, i.e. percentage of item variance explained by the latent factor. Boldfaced factor loadings are above the .30 threshold
