In this study, the purpose is to compare factor retention methods under simulation conditions. For this purpose, simulations conditions with a number of factors (1, 2 [simple]), sample sizes (250, 1.000, and 3.000), number ...

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the item weighting method developed by researchers on the construct validity of the test. For this purpose, a Monte Carlo simulation study was carried out. Test length, ...

This paper aims to review the scale development research published in Turkey between 2006 and 2016 with regard to their processes of exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Within this scope, the distribution ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether factor scores can be used instead of ability estimation and total score. For this purpose, the relationships among total score, ability estimation, and factor scores were ...
