Method A total of 285 undergraduate students (128 males, 157 females, M age = 19.66, SD = 1.36) participated in this study. Results A confirmatory factor analysis indicated the appropriateness of the POGQ-J’s six-factor structure, χ 2(129) = 106.027, p < .931; CFI = .957; RMSEA = .040; SRMR = .054.
