EFA Output Summary

Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
Rotation Method: Varimax rotation (orthogonal)

KMO and Bartlett’s Test
  • KMO Measure: 0.81 → indicates good sampling adequacy
  • Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity: χ²(45) = 210.35, p < .001 → significant

These results suggest that the data are suitable for factor analysis.

Factors and Items Retained
  • Total items: 10
  • Number of factors retained: 2 factors

The decision was based on:

  • Eigenvalues > 1 (Kaiser’s criterion)
  • Scree plot showing a clear break after the second factor
  • Factor loadings above 0.50

Two items were removed because they had low loadings (< .40) or cross-loadings on multiple factors.
