The correlations of the first‐order factors are shown in Table 2. CPA and PPA factors had the highest correlations in both men and women. In general, the CSA factor was more highly correlated with the other factors in women than men. In no case were the comparable correlations higher in men than women. Overall, the moderate correlations of the first‐order factors observed in both men and women imply that they are measuring largely unique constructs. The fairly balanced loadings of the first‐order factors on the second‐order factor indicate that the CTF represents a reasonable estimate of their common variance.
