Discussion
Study 2 focused mainly on the cross-validation of the PLCQ-SR’s structure.
Although factor loadings and internal consistencywere rather low, model fit indices
were excellent, thus establishing factorial validity of the PLCQ-SR. Discriminant
validity was supported, because only a small portion of variance can be attributed
to the theoretically unrelated response-style of social desirability.4 However, all
results of Study 2 must be interpreted cautiously, because sample size was small.
Further research should attempt to replicate these findings using bigger samples
