Text

Class 1 (74% of the sample) had higher endorsement probabilities on most criteria than class 2 (26% of the sample) (Figure 1). The two classes differed on role, hazard, tolerance, longer, give up, time, cut down, and harmful. The differences in endorsement probabilities were reflected in the item thresholds which were different across classes, with class 1 having lower thresholds than class 2 on all criteria except continue and legal. Factor loadings on most criteria were moderate to high (Table 3), with continue having the highest loading, and harmful the lowest.
