Within the CFA setting, we calculated composite reliability using the procedures that Fornell and Larcker (1981) outline. In addition, we examined the parameter estimates and their associated t-values along with the average variance extracted for each construct (Anderson and Gerbing 1988). The composite reliabilities for the eight scales ranged from .69 to .94, and the factor loadings ranged from .60 to .96 (p < .01), with average variances extracted ranging from 43.0% to 82.7%. Corresponding reliability and validity results for Norway, Sweden, and the United States appear in Table 2. In addition, we found the 33 purified items to be reliable and valid when evaluated on the basis of each item’s error variance, modification index, and residual covariation. The skewness and kurtosis results of each item indicated that the data were normally distributed.
