Make sure. To examine each of the components of the paradigm model, factor loadings, Cronbach's alpha value, average explained variance, and the significance level of Bartlett's test have been used.

The amount of factor loading, average explained variance, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the combined reliability obtained for each of the research measures indicate a suitable and acceptable relationship between the measures and the constructs (factor loading and average explained variance) and the compatibility of the questions. For each component of the model (Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability) was
