Conditions Affecting Integrity of a Factor Solution under Varying Degrees of Overextraction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lawrence, Frank R.; Hancock, Gregory R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1999
Used simulated data to test the integrity of orthogonal factor solutions when varying sample size, factor pattern/structure coefficient magnitude, method of extraction, number of variables, number of factors, and degree of overextraction. Discusses implications of results with regard to overextraction. (SLD)

On Chance and Factor Congruence Following Orthogonal Procrustes Rotation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…

Distortion as a Function of the Number of Factors Rotated under Varying Levels of Common Variance and Error.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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)

The Development of an Emotions Scale for Writers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Powell, Jack L.; Brand, Alice G. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1987
The Brand Emotions Scale for Writers (BESW) is a 20-item scale designed to measure writers' emotions immediately before, during, and immediately after writing. This article describes the development of the BESW and the factor structure of the three different scale forms. (BS)

Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory: A Factor Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gray, Mary McPhail; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
The 72-item Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory (EPSI) was factor analyzed for a group of 534 university freshmen and sophomore students. Seven factors emerged, which were labeled Initiative, Industry, Identity, Friendship, Dating, Goal Clarity, and Self-Confidence. Item's representing Erikson's factors, Trust and Autonomy, were dispersed across…

A Comparative Analysis of the Factorial Structures of Two Administrations of the Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale to One Group of Elementary School Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Platten, Marvin R.; Williams, Larry R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale was administered twice to a sample of elementary school pupils and both sets of data were factor analyzed. Results led the authors to question the factor stability of the instrument. (Items are included). (JKS)

The Factorial Structure of the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices Test
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wiedl, Karl Heinz; Carlson, Jerry S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
Factor analysis of an administration of the Raven Progressive Matrices Test to children in grades 1, 2, and 3 revealed three orthogonal factors interpreted as (1) concrete and abstract reasoning, (2) continuous and discrete pattern completion, and (3) pattern completion through disclosure. Results are discussed in several contexts. (RC)
