The sample was purposively selected, accounting for 263 participants. The instrument used was a questionnaire consisting of six components with the internal validity of 0.95. The data was analyzed with AMOS. The results of the first order CFA showed that all indices meet the fit indices criteria (CMIN = 76.23, CMIN/DF = 1.29, p-value = 0.06, CFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.96, AGFI = 0.93, RMR = 0.03, SRMR = 0.03 and RMSEA = 0.03), factor loading ranged from 0.44 to 0.87, p = .01. The results of the second order CFA also showed that all indices meet the fit indices criteria (CMIN = 69.05, CMIN/DF = 1.23, p-value = 0.11, CFI = 0.99, GFI = 0.96, AGFI = 0.93, RMR = 0.03, SRMR = 0.04 and RMSEA = 0.03), the factor loading ranged from 0.22 to 0.96, p = .01.
