  1. *p is significant after Benjamini–Hochberg correction. The scale for the item parameters is standardized, mean 0 variance 1, as is conventional for reporting IRT parameters. The order is following alpha from large to small in every subscale. 1Uniform McFadden effect size is reported and non uniform is available on request
