The review reports its own program of factorial studies, citing Case et al. 2001, Demetriou and Bakracevic 2009, and others, in which "all five SSS emerge as separate factors" across ages. No effect sizes are printed.

"These SSS were identified by a number of studies involving participants from preschool age to adulthood. Specifically, in factorial studies, all five SSS emerge as separate factors"
