Model 1 is a 6-QoL-factor (physical, emotional, self-esteem, family, friend, and school) model
Model 4 is a correlated traits (QoL factors) and correlated methods (wording factors) model (CTCM model)
Model 5 is a correlated traits and one-wording-factor model (CTC [M − 1] model)
Model 6 is a correlated traits and uncorrelated methods model (CTUM model)
Negatively worded items are in italics
^a Item Fr4 (felt different from other children) was eliminated in all CFA models based on the suggestion of other studies (Helseth & Lund [21]; Lin et al. [10]; Lee et al. [22]; Wee et al. [23])
