Table 1 Factor solution choice
Number of factors | Extraction | Rotation | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
3 | OLS | Geomin | 12 items with communalities less than 0.6, removing these items would also remove one factor |
4 | OLS | Geomin | 9 items with communalities less than 0.6, strong cross-loadings |
5 | OLS | Geomin | One item on factor 5, and strong cross-loadings between factors 1 and 4 |
6 | OLS | Geomin | Single items on factors 5 and 6, factor 6 item cross-loads with factor 1 |
3 | OLS | Oblimin | Failed to converge |
4 | OLS | Oblimin | More than 5 items on each factor, minimal number of cross-loading items, logical items grouping for each factor |
5 | OLS | Oblimin | Logical item grouping for each factor |
6 | OLS | Oblimin | Failed to converge |
