The internal consistency of each of the six dimensions was estimated with coefficient alpha. The reliabilities exceeded the conventional level of acceptance of .70 (Nunnally‚ 1978): time-based WIF = .87; time-based FIW = .79; strain based WIF = .85; strain-based FIW = .87; behavior-based WIF = .78; behavior based FIW = .85.
