(a) The calculated values for all factor loadings exceed 1.96, indicating statistical significance at the 95% confidence level, (b) The Lambda coefficient (λ) represents the factor loadings, which quantify the contribution of observed variables to their corresponding latent factor., (c) Pearson correlation coefficient
