Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Having a marker variable with a high loading on only one factor is highly useful in interpreting factor analysis results because it helps to identify clearly defined factors. This marker variable is an anchor that allows for easy interpretation and labeling of the factors. Having a variable with high loadings on two factors (A) can create confusion in factor interpretation, while having a potential method factor (B) can complicate interpretation and decrease the validity of the analysis. Having a factor with no loadings above .30 (C) may suggest insufficient sample size or difficulty achieving convergence in the analysis but does not necessarily aid in interpretation.
