  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Dimension scores range from 0 (lowest satisfaction) to 100 (highest satisfaction). IDV: correlation between items scores of a given dimension with the other dimension scores. Numbers are lowest–highest Pearson correlation coefficient. IIC: correlation between items scores and their dimension score (corrected for overlap). Numbers are lowest–highest Pearson correlation coefficient. IDV item-discriminant validity, IIC item-internal consistency, NA not applicable, INFIT item goodness-of-fit
