Whether a factor has meaning depends on the appropriateness of the experimental design as much as on the validity of the analysis. Factor analysis should, if possible, be based on covariances rather than on correlations. Variance varies objectively, and depends primarily on the complexity of the ...
Decades of research on resilience have seen the emergence and development of positive psychology. Resilience has been used to represent the individual’s capability of survival and adjustment after experiencing serious traumatic events. It has been defined as personal characteristics that could promote ...

In the third step, researchers usually use a “rotation” to clarify the psychological meaning of the factors. Rotation is intended to producesimple structure, a pattern of associations in which each observed variable associates strongly with (i.e., “loads on”) one factor and only one factor...
Parallel analysis indicated that two factors should be retained (See Table S1 in the online supplements), so four models were examined, including one to two-factor ESEM models, with and without accounting for correlated residual between two reverse-coded items. Of particular note was that the ...

Samples of 163 young adults and 144 older adults completed six measures of personal meaning in life. Confirmatory factor analysis and multiple-groups confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess structure and structural invariance. The results show that a general second-order model of personal ...

With the rapid advancements in exploratory bifactor analysis, researchers have numerous methodological options at their disposal for estimating a bifactor solution. For simplicity, the competing methods can be distinguished on two dimensions (see Table 1). The first dimension is the analytic strategy ...
