  1. Note. Metric invariance means constraining loadings to be equal; scalar refers to constraining both loadings and thresholds to be equal. Based on CFA results, the one-factor structure was tested for invariance across 13 samples: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, UK, Germany, Malaysia, Peru, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, and the USA. The two-factor structure was tested for invariance across Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Kenya, Morocco, Nepal, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Namibia English, Namibia Oshiwambo, Namibia Khoekhoegowab
