Display 11.9 Descriptive statistics for questionnaire variables.<br />

increasing the number <strong>of</strong> factors by one until the test yields an insignificant<br />

result. However, like all tests for model assumptions, the procedure is not<br />

without difficulties. For small samples, too few factors might be indicated<br />

and for large samples, too many. In addition, it is not clear what single<br />

test level should be chosen and the test has been shown very sensitive<br />

to departures from normality. Here we demonstrate the test procedure in<br />

the spirit <strong>of</strong> an explorative tool rather than a formal test.<br />

Parameter estimation via maximum likelihood is specified via the<br />

Extraction sub-dialogue box (see Display 11.3). As soon as ML is selected<br />

from the Method list, it is no longer possible to choose the covariance<br />

matrix since <strong>SPSS</strong> automatically models the correlation matrix. Although<br />

our later analysis will concentrate on the former, given the small differences<br />

in standard deviations for the questionnaire variables, this should not<br />

present a real problem. By fixing the Number <strong>of</strong> factors, we can fit a series<br />

<strong>of</strong> factor model with one, two, and three factors.<br />

The resulting series <strong>of</strong> tests for model fit is shown in Display 11.10.<br />

We detect significant lack <strong>of</strong> model fit for the one- and two-factor solutions<br />

with the three-factor model failing to detect departure from the model at<br />

the 5% level (X 2 (1) = 69, p = 0.058). So, according to the ML test criterion,<br />

a three-factor model seems reasonable for these data.<br />
