A factor analysis of the related items revealed that the factors were can be divided under five headings; intellectual property, social impact, safety and quality, net integrity and information integrity.

The UECUBS scale effectively measures unethical computer use behavior among Turkish university students, categorizing factors into intellectual property, social impact, safety, net integrity, and information integrity.
