Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that full scalar was upheld all groups, suggesting unidimensional model has widespread applicability. There were differences languages latent appreciation, while identities groups negligible-to-small. Additionally, greater appreciation significantly associated higher life satisfaction, being single (versus married or committed relationship), rurality urbanicity). Across subset where nation-level available, also cultural distance from United States relative income inequality.
