Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy & Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity

a. ​ Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy​ – This measure varies between 0


and 1, and values closer to 1 are better. A value of .6 is a suggested minimum

b. ​Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity​ – This tests the null hypothesis that the correlation matrix is an
identity matrix. An identity matrix is a matrix in which all of the diagonal elements are 1 and all
off-diagonal elements are 0. You want to reject this null hypothesis.

Taken together, these tests provide a minimum standard which should be passed before a
factor analysis (or a principal components analysis) should be conducted​.

Interpretations​:

1. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy is a statistic that


indicates the proportion of variance in your variables that might be caused by
underlying factors. High values (close to 1.0) generally indicate that factor
analysis may be useful with your data

Normally, 0 < KMO < 1


If KMO > 0.5, the sample is adequate

2. Bartlett's test of sphericity tests the hypothesis that your correlation matrix is an
identity matrix, which would indicate that your variables are unrelated and
therefore unsuitable for structure detection. Small values (less than 0.05) of the
significance level indicate that factor analysis may be useful with your data

Taking a 95% level of Significance, α = 0.05


The p-value (Sig.) of .000 < 0.05, therefore the Factor Analysis is valid
Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis

The principal component analysis explains the correlation of various variables


with the construct. Variables with values closer to 1, have a higher degree of
correlation and all the variables with values greater than 0.5 are significant in a
construct.

Communalities​ – This is the proportion of each variable’s variance that can be


explained by the factors.

b. ​Initial​ – With principal factor axis factoring, the initial values on the diagonal of
the correlation matrix are determined by the squared multiple correlations of the
variable with the other variables.

c. ​Extraction​ – The values in this column indicate the proportion of each


variable’s variance that can be explained by the retained factors. Variables with
high values are well represented in the common factor space, while variables
with low values are not well represented.

a. ​Factor​ – The initial number of factors is the same as the number of variables used in the
factor analysis. However, not all 8 factors will be retained. In this example, only the ​first two
factors will be retained ​(as we requested).

b. ​Initial Eigenvalues​ – Eigenvalues are the variances of the factors. Because we conducted
our factor analysis on the correlation matrix, the variables are standardized, which means that
each variable has a variance of 1, and the total variance is equal to the number of variables
used in the analysis, in this case, 8.
c. ​Total​ – This column contains the eigenvalues. The first factor will always account for the
most variance (and hence have the highest eigenvalue), and the next factor will account for as
much of the left over variance as it can, and so on. Hence, each successive factor will account
for less and less variance.

d. ​% of Variance​ – This column contains the per cent of total variance accounted for by each
factor.

e. ​Cumulative %​ – This column contains the cumulative percentage of variance accounted for
by the current and all preceding factors. For example, the second row shows a value of 56.385.
This means that the first two factors together account for 56.385% of the total variance.

f. ​Extraction Sums of Squared Loadings​ – The number of rows in this panel of the table
corresponds to the ​number of factors retained​. In this example, we requested that two factors
be retained, so there are 2 rows, one for each retained factor. The values in this panel of the
table are calculated in the same way as the values in the left panel, except that here the values
are based on the common variance. The values in this panel of the table will always be lower
than the values in the left panel of the table because they are based on the common variance,
which is always smaller than the total variance

g. ​Rotation Sums of Squared Loadings​ – The values in this panel of the table represent the
distribution of the variance after the varimax rotation. ​Varimax rotation tries to maximize the
variance of each of the factors, so the total amount of variance accounted for is
redistributed over the two extracted factors

Interpretations:

Component 1 (2.1) is considered as the strong factor because total eigenvalue is greater than 1.
Rest of the factors are considered as weak factors.
These 2 extracted factors explained 56.385% of the variability.

that the line is almost flat, meaning each successive factor is accounting for smaller and smaller

Rotated Component Matrix

Factor rotation is a mathematical way of simplifying factor results. Here we are


using the varimax process. The main purpose of this table is to reduce the
number factors on which the variables under investigation have high loadings
i.e., in this matrix we check the correlation with every variable and thus
identifying factors through this table is easy. The cut-off point we generally take is
0.5.
Compare this matrix with the unrotated solution. Before rotation, most variables
loaded highly onto the first factor and the remaining factors didn’t really get a look
in. However, the rotation of the factor structure has clarified things considerably

CONSTRUCT 1 to 9
Only one component was extracted. The solution cannot be rotated
