The participants were 2944 people, selected through non-probability sampling for convenience, where the majority were women. Data collection occurred between 12 June and 14 September 2020. The results indicated that the model with two related factors presents a better fit to the data and has partial scalar invariance among the 7 countries. Differences in emotional and physiological reactions were observed between the countries. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.PDFArtículohttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07481187.2021.1879318
