Liu, Yan; Zumbo, Bruno D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2012
There is a lack of research on the effects of outliers on the decisions about the number of factors to retain in an exploratory factor analysis, especially for outliers arising from unintended and unknowingly included subpopulations. The purpose of the present research was to investigate how outliers from an unintended and unknowingly included…

ten Berge, Jos M. F. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1973
A shortcut formula for the computation of "coefficients of invariance" in the comparison of factor structures is presented. A limitation of the coefficient of invariance is pointed out in the case of comparing two first principal components. (NE)

Walkey, Frank H. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
A factor replication procedure (FACTOREP) was evaluated using four psychometrically equivalent synthetic correlation matrices containing an imposed three-subscale structure. Comparisons of the structure revealed by two, three, four, and nine-factor rotations using the FACTOREP showed that only the three factor solutions were replicable across all…

Katzenmeyer, William G.; Stenner, A. Jackson – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1975
The problem of demonstrating replicability of factor structure across random variables is addressed. Procedures are outlined which combine the use of random subsample replication strategies with the correlations between factor score estimates across replicate pairs to generate a coefficient of replicability and confidence intervals associated with…

Paunonen, Sampo V. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1997
A Monte Carlo simulation evaluated conditions that contribute to excessively high coefficients of congruence when fitting one factor pattern matrix into the space of a targeted pattern. Results support the conclusion that orthogonal Procrustes methods of factor rotation do produce spurious coefficients between predictor and criterion factor…

Guertin, Azza S.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1981
The effects of under and overrotation on common factor loading stability under three levels of common variance and three levels or error are examined. Four representative factor matrices were selected. Results suggested that matrices which account for large amounts of common variance tend to have stable factor loadings. (Author/RL)

Glorfeld, Louis W. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1995
A modification of Horn's parallel analysis is introduced that is based on the Monte Carlo simulation of the null distributions of the eigenvalues generated from a population correlation identity matrix. This modification reduces the tendency of the parallel analysis procedure to overextract or to extract poorly defined factors. (SLD)

Chen Shyuefee, Agnes; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1993
Confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis determined how accurately each of several hypothesized combinations of first-order and higher-order factors reflecting creativity in the social intelligence of 192 high school students described the covariation in selected submatrixes from the total correlation matrix originally analyzed. Results…

Ulosevich, Steven N.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1991
A correlation matrix of 21 structure-of-intellect (SOI) tests taken by 204 Marine officers at a military base in Southern California, which was intended to reflect aptitudes for military leadership, was reanalyzed through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis. Higher order factors appeared to have…

Roznowski, Mary; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
A Monte Carlo investigation of simplex fitting as a method of determining the dimensionality of binary data matrices was conducted. Examination of the fit of correlation matrices with a known factor structure to correlation matrices that represent the perfect simplex shows that simplex fitting is a feasible approach under some circumstances.
