The scale comprised 22 items including three subdimensions. In both exploratory and confirmatory factor tests, the overall factor loading was greater than 0.30. In the confirmatory factor analysis, all the goodness of fit indexes were greater than 0.87, and the root mean square error of approximation was less than 0.07. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.92, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging between 0.55 and 0.88 for the subscales.
