Factor loading values based on exploratory factor analysis (N = 139).

Total contribution of the factors is 72.5%, and all the loading coefficients are higher than 0.45, which means that there is a close correlation among each factor, and the common factors can be used to explain the variables effectively. By reading the loading values, 5 main attitude categories were classified as Factor 1, which could be described as the attitude towards carnivores; Factor 2 could be described as the preference towards herbivores; Factor 3 could be described as attitude towards reducing hunting to benefit wildlife conservation; Factor 4 could be described as the attitude towards wild boars; Factor 5 could be described as the attitude towards nature resources.
