O.1.9. Overall evaluation of EFA solution<br />
A. Excellent factor extraction rated as “A”; variance accounted for<br />
as “A” ; loadings rated as “A”; cross-loadings rated as<br />
“A”.<br />
B. Good three studies rated “A” <strong>and</strong> one study rated “B” from<br />
the following:<br />
factor extraction rated “A”/”B”; variance accounted for<br />
“A”/”B”; loadings “A”/”B”; cross-loadings “A”/”B”.<br />
C. Marginal factor extraction “A”/”B”; variance accounted for<br />
“A”/”B”; loadings “A”/”B”; cross-loadings “A”/”B”.<br />
D. NOT<br />
ACCEPTABLE<br />
factor extraction “B” or less; variance accounted for<br />
“B” or less; loadings “B” or less; cross-loadings “B” or<br />
less.<br />
O.2.<br />
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)<br />
The following rating system was derived from Rick et al (2000).<br />
O.2.1. Use of CFA<br />
A. Very<br />
Appropriate<br />
Prior EFAs conducted on scales with independent<br />
samples or strong a priori structure.<br />
B. Appropriate Prior EFAs conducted on scales or strong a priori<br />
structure.<br />
C. Not<br />
Appropriate<br />
Neither prior EFAs conducted with scales nor strong<br />
a priori structure.<br />
O.2.2. Sample size<br />
A. Very Size > 1,000<br />
Good<br />
B. Good Size > 20 times the number of items in a scale or 400.<br />
C. OK Size > 10 times the number of items in a scale or 200.<br />
D. Minimum Size > 4 times the number items in an instrument<br />
or 200, whichever is the greater.<br />
E. Unacceptable Size < 4 times number of an instrument or < 200.<br />
C. NR Not reported<br />
O.2.3. Covariance matrix<br />
A. : Analysis on covariance matrix.<br />
B. : Analysis on correlation matrix.<br />
NR. : Matrix used in analysis not reported.<br />
