Using the factor rotation technique, the varimax rotated component matrix [ 18] revealed that after rotation, thirty items loaded strongly (>0.40) (Table 6) on one of the four components, indicating a strong correlation between the item and the corresponding components.
The EFAs were conducted as follows: assessment of the factorality of the data, factor extraction, factor rotation, and interpretation.
Following factor extraction and factor rotation, a weighted (synthetic) Q-sort is produced for each rotated factor by using a weighted averaging method to calculate the score for each statement in the factor array [ 27].
Exploratory factor analyses (EFA) were used to test the psychometric properties of the questionnaire and included the following steps: assessment of the factorality of the data, factor extraction by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), oblimin (oblique) factor rotation, and interpretation.
The chapter also covers the various methods of factor rotation and estimation of factor scores.
In this paper, we focus on five major decisions that are made in conducting factor analysis: (i) establishing how large the sample needs to be, (ii) choosing between factor analysis and principal components analysis, (iii) determining the number of factors to retain, (iv) selecting a method of data extraction, and (v) deciding upon the methods of factor rotation.
