For example, it is just as likely that all items will load as a single factor, or that a different number of factors will be ideal. We used a ULS extraction for this data based on results from Chapter 2. The syntax to examine the extraction criteria for this data set is presented below. Please note that PROC FACTOR automatically deletes records with missing data from analysis, thereby reducing our sample of 656 down to 479.
The scree test involves examining the graph of the eigenvalues (available in all software) and looking for the natural bend or “elbow” in the data where the slope of the curve changes (flattens) markedly. , not including the point at which the break occurs) is usually considered a good estimate of the ideal number of factors to retain. , 2000), many suggest that researchers examine solutions extracting the number of factors ranging from one to two factors above the elbow to one or two below. As this is an exploratory technique, one should be encouraged to explore.
