"Number of actions" has a negative effect in some of the specifications, while the coefficients of "number of actions per correct test items" are more unstable across our specifications.
As a subscale, the two-item fishar would have been unstable [ 54], as shown by the sum of the item variances being greater than the scale variance, resulting in a negative Cronbach's α of -.23.
Unstable results arise for not attempted test items.
On the other hand, a factor with less than three items is considered weak and unstable.
16 When the items of a generic scale are unstable across diagnoses, the measurements generated by them cannot be used to make meaningful comparisons.
As discussed above, some items of the scale are more unstable in their association to only one factor and have low loadings in the French study: item 12 and 14 of the sexual domain ("passed peak", beard growth"), item 11 and 13 of the psychological domain ("depressive, "burned out"), and item 3 of somatic domain ("sweating").
As a factor with fewer than three items is more likely to be weak and unstable [25], a forced two-factor solution was run with the 14 items.
