Since the majority of the constructs in this study were new constructs
designed by the authors, it was determined that an exploratory factor
analysis should be performed initially to clarify the elements of the
constructs. The scales resulting from the exploratory factor analysis were
then used in the SEM confirmatory factor analysis. This is similar to the
approach used in Fullerton and Wempe (2009).

An oblique rather than a varimax rotation was used since we expect our
factors to be related
