I ran a factor analysis of the 14 item Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), research has commonly found one underlying component but I ran a factor analysis for my sample (233 Psychotherapists) and it suggests two - can someone help me interpret these results?
thank you!
Apparently your software includes additional components if the eigenvalue is greater than 1.0, even if its value is 1.078 compared to a third component of .981. I would say that your scree plot shows it all -- there is a very strong first component, followed by a continuous series of much weaker ones.
Hi, I hope you're well. How would you use this in further analysis using this variable - is it reasonable to assume there is one underlying strong component and only include this within my analysis?
