... ample of 271 Slovene-speaking adults. Exploratory factor (principal component), combined with parallel analysis, found a two-factor structure.

Confirmatory factor analysis supports a two-factor solution. The results support the further use of the scale as a valid and reliable instrument for measuring relational ethics in a Slovene language environment.
