    what is Factor Scores Coefficient Matrix in each factor analyzed in spss? I mean which value is to be considered for factor scores coefficients.

    May I ask what the negative value in cross-loadings means? Thank you so much

    Which output is used as factor loading? Is it enough use the Component Matrix output? Then, for example, the Component Matrix output produces 2 Components, from 6 items, item 1 is in Component 2, do I just count into the analysis of items 2 to 6 only, or can I continue to count with the six items, considering that even though item 1 is in Component 2, but the Factor Loading value of item 1 is very high (above 0.8). Thanks for your sharing.

    Hi Krutarth,

    In a factor analysis, there are two types of component matrix which are represented in the form of tables, the first is the rotated component matrix and other one is the component matrix or the unrotated component matrix. The rotated component analysis represent the factor loading of the principal components analysis that represents the correlation among the variables.Through the rotation matrix , we can reduce the number of factors on which the variables have high factor loading. On the other hand , the component matrix represent the extent to which each factor contributes the variable. So, the component matrix which is to be used depends on the extent of data, variables and objectives.

    I have 22 statements of factor analysis. everything is done on SPSS just the thing is that i am getting two components tables.so which component table i should analyize and interpretate

    Hi Badi , Lwidiko

    Items of the construct 3 can be moved upon component 4 or 5 if the attributes associated with the construct 3 is related to the component 4 or 5. This is because each construct contains the items with the similar set of attributes. In addition to this , each construct explains the extent of similarity of responses to the items within different constructs.
    For instance , if there are three constructs: competence , satisfaction and motivation among the employees. Factor analysis would help in examining the extent to which the responses related to motivation are linked with competence items and so on. Thus , items of construct 3 can be separated to component 4 or 5 depends upon the attributes on which these items are based.

    Hi! I am stuck I run EFA for three constructs with 25 items. The output in a rotated matrix formed five components of which some items from construct 2 moved to component 3 and those in construct 3 separated to component 4 and 5. Can i remove those items in component 4 and 5? anyone who can assist me as early as possible to rescue me from high jam
