From: The role of focus back effort in the relationships among motivation, interest, and mind wandering: an individual difference perspective

Fig. 1

Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for mind wandering (MW), focus back effort (FBE), motivation, and interest. The correlations between the latent variables (circles) are represented by double-headed arrows linking these variables. Single-headed arrows from latent variables to observed variables (squares) represent the loadings of each manifest variable onto the latent variable. All numbers appearing beside each arrow are standardized. All paths are statistically significant at the p < 0.05 level. MW-SART = mind wandering in the sustained attention to response task; MW-0B = mind wandering in the 0-back task; MW-1B = mind wandering in the 1-back task; FBE-SART = focus back effort in the sustained attention to response task; FBE-0B = focus back effort in the 0-back task; FBE-1B = focus back effort in the 1-back task; Motivation-SART = motivation in the sustained attention to response task; Motivation-0B = motivation in the 0-back task; Motivation-1B = motivation in the 1-back task; Interest-SART = interest in the sustained attention to response task; Interest-0B = interest in the 0-back task; Interest-1B = interest in the 1-back task
