Hi
there r certain queries related to values in rotated component matrix….

1. Is it fine to get say 12 factors in Rotated Component Matrix with none of the items/statements under one or more factors. Should we in that case consider rest of the factors or some sort treatment is needed.

2. in case an item falls under 2 or more factors, should we consider it under the one with highest value.??

3. in case there are one or two statements that come under a factor in rotated component matrix, but logically we find that those two can be included in some other factor, should we merge them or what else can be done in such a case.??

thanks in advance 🙂

Dear Iesha,
Greetings!
You have raised valid points for your analysis, however, you should not focus only on the Rotated Component Matrix. Rather you need to review the Eigen Values and the Scree Plot as well.
Please find below the answers to your queries below:

1. These 12 factors are individual factors with sub-factors under them? The factors which are not coming under any factor can be removed from the final likert scale.

2. Yes, it is advisable to chose the one with highest value.

3. Yes, in case the factor is similar then they can be merged under bigger factor.

Hi Shruti..

Thanks a lott 🙂

in case we r getting some factors containing 2-3 random items (i.e., which are logically quite different from rest of the items in a factor), what kind of treatment should be done. I mean how can we assess where the problem lies, if even after increasing the sample size situation remains the same.

Dear Iesha,
Mostly when people respond similarly to set of statements in one factor they are grouped as one factor in the matrix.
So, you check the mean/descriptives of these individual statements to know if all the individuals are pointing at the same thing. If not then these statements should be excluded.

hi can the eigenvalue of kaiser criterion be changed other than the default value?

Dear Jonx,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, we can change the default value to less or more than 1.
Otherwise, depending on the factors you need, you can change the no of factors to be extracted as well.

hello,
Ian doing my thesis work so i adopted the factor. i had 37 factors in my analysis in the form of variable and rest the data in data sheet. I am not able to understand the interpretation of the data and which factors are important

Dear Rishav,
The 37 statements will be segregated into different columns in the rotated component matrix. The statements in the first column will be most important and will come under one variable.
The results should be presented diagonally based on the column which they appear.

Hi!
I didn’t get extraction column in communalities table in my output ..why is that ?

Dear Soheyb,
More often, the items which load on more than 1 factor are removed from the analysis. Firstly, because this item is confusing for the respondent and thus can’t be added to any of the factor category. Secondly, once these items are removed we get non-ambiguous questionnaire.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your informing article. I’ve got a question regarding “rotated component matrix”: there are times when items load on more than one factor, for example, item ” experience with product” has loaded on both factors 1 and 2. Should we exclude that item or what? As far as I know items that load on more than one factor with item loadings greater than .30 should be excluded from the analysis. I’ll appreciate that if you could explain more on that.
Thanks in advance.
