In my EFA, four factors emerged. This was slightly different from my expectation because I worked with three constructs. The Life Satisfaction items grouped together clearly, so that part made theoretical sense. Most Optimism items also loaded on the same factor, but op3 showed cross-loadings. The Mastery items were split into two groups, so that structure was less clear and may need more careful interpretation.

Your EFA results are interesting, especially since four factors emerged instead of the expected three. It’s good that the Life Satisfaction and most Optimism items grouped clearly, as that supports your theoretical model. Regarding the cross-loading of op3, you might consider reviewing the wording of that item—it could be measuring more than one construct. Also, the split in the Mastery items suggests that this construct may not be unidimensional. You could explore whether it actually reflects two sub-dimensions or consider removing items with low or inconsistent loadings. Overall, your analysis is clear, and with a bit more refinement, the factor structure could become even stronger
