This Research Paper continues on from Part 1 which was submitted separately as it’s a huge assignment so it’s been split into 2 parts. THis Part of the Assignment start at the Method Section.*Exploratory Factor Analysis required*
*The new scale requested must load on 3 factors with simple structure*
*The assignment must include a table a detailed table of all items removed*
STASTICAL PROCEDURES THAT MUST BE USED ARE
1) Principal Access Factoring (PAF)
2) Direct Oblimin (Oblique Rotation)
3) Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin’s (KMO) value – above .60
4) Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity
5) Minimum criteria for keeping Items:
– Each item loads on one main factor
– Little or no correlation with the other two factors
– Communalities greater or equal to .2
– Removal of Cross Loadings below .4
6) Must include two tables: 1 must be a descriptive statistics table for the new scale factors and validity measures (Extraversion, Comparative Risk, Satisfaction with Life & LOT-R). Other table must be an Intercorrelation Matrix between the new scale factors and the validity measures.
