Scale was anchored with 1, do not find it pleasurable; … 7, find it pleasurable (reverse coded for analysis)
Scale was anchored with 1, exciting; … 7, unexciting
Scale was anchored with 1, not fun; … 7, fun (reverse coded for analysis)
Scales were anchored with 1, strongly agree; … 7, strongly disagree
Factor analysis yielded only two factors with eigenvalues larger than the requisite 1.0 and the next “factor” had an eigenvalue of .894. Two factors were identified through the scree plot, and the two-factor model is interpretable.
