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 />
