^***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; * P < 0.05
^aThe calculated values of all factor loadings, both first-order and second-order, exceed 1.96, indicating statistical significance at the 95% confidence level
^bThe specific value, represented by the Lambda coefficient (λ), is calculated as the sum of the factor loadings for all variables associated with that factor
^cPearson Correlation Coefficient
