* The H-index evaluates how well a set of elements represents a common factor. It is bounded between 0 and 1 and approaches unity as the magnitude of factor loadings and/or the number of items increases. High H values (>0.80) suggest a well-defined latent variable, which is more likely to be stable across studies, while low H values suggest a poorly defined latent variable, which is likely to change across studies [34].
