To further enhance the scale's reliability, the tenth item was removed after examining item-total statistics, resulting in an improved Cronbach's alpha of 0.87 for the total scale. Subscale reliability was also satisfactory, with values of 0.92 for implications, 0.64 for social behavior, and 0.68 for self-control. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to assess the construct validity of the scale. The chi-square test indicated a significant fit (p
