As a result, 16 items were deleted due to unsatisfactory factor loading scores, but it was valid as a four-factor model of critical existential thinking(5 questions), conscious state expansion(4 questions), personal meaning production(4 questions), and transcendental perception(3 questions). Thereafter, the main data collection was implemented and 428 office workers were participated finally. The confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to verify the suitability of the model.
