solution was associated with the best fit. The correlation between the EAPA-T and its four factors was calculated through the corrected subscale-total–scale correlation (cf.Table 6). This is the correlation of a subscale with the total scale without the items of the respective subscale. This was done because without this correction, the correlation would be spuriously inflated. The correlations varied between .43 and .76 reflecting that
the participants are more or less bullied with regard to all EAPA-T subscales, thus adding validity to the second-order factor solution. Moreover, the correlations of the EAPA-T subscales range from -.08 to .43, that is they range from very low to moderate (cf. Table 6) indicating discriminant validity between the scales.
