Evaluating the use of exploratory factor analysis in psychological research.
Abstract
Despite the widespread use of exploratory factor analysis in psychological research, researchers often make questionable decisions when conducting these analyses. This article reviews the major design and analytical decisions that must be made when conducting a factor analysis and notes that each of these decisions has important consequences for the obtained results. Recommendations that have been made in the methodological literature are discussed. Analyses of 3 existing empirical data sets are used to illustrate how questionable decisions in conducting factor analyses can yield problematic results. The article presents a survey of 2 prominent journals that suggests that researchers routinely conduct analyses using such questionable methods. The implications of these practices for psychological research are discussed, and the reasons for current practices are reviewed. Since its initial development nearly a century ago (Spearman, 1904, 1927), exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has been one of the most widely used statistical procedures in psychological research.

“The standardized loading coefficients for each observed item were significantly greater than 0.5, implying a high level of correlation between each dimension and its constituent latent variables (Table 1) [70]. The construct reliabilities (CR) of the latent variables were all greater than 0.7 and their average variance extractions (AVE) were all greater than 0.5, indicating high aggregation valid”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
