  1. * The table is ordered by factor loadings on ‘Causes’. Significant loadings (p < 0.01) are shown in bold type. The significance level is calculated as 2.58*(SE). SE represents standard error that is defined as 1/√N where N is the number of statements in the statement set. For ‘Causes’, 2.58*(SE) = 2.58 (1/√34) = 0.44. For ‘Solutions’, 2.58*(SE) = 2.58 (1/√39) = 0.41. Defining sorts are identified by an X. ‘PS’ = Professional Stakeholders. ‘CP’ = Community Participants
