Table 3 Means(M), standard deviation (SD), reliabilities (Cronbach’s α), and inter-correlations between the NPPBQ’s subQuestionnaires and correlations with the NPPBQ total score in step 2 (n = 588)

**Ρ < 0.01, Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Guttman Split-Half coefficient of the total scale and every sub-questionnaire were 0.930, 0.795, 0.826, 0.674, 0.725, 0.877 respectively; and Spearman-Brown coefficient were 0.931, 0.855, 0.833, 0.746, 0.796, 0.878, respectively
