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

Guertin, Azza S.; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n1 p1-9 Spr 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)
