Why do some researchers in psychometrics still use the "Little Jiffy" approach (PCA + Kaiser rule + Varimax)?

This approach is used even when exists papers where give alternatives procedures, who are more useful because focus on variance of construct, not in variance of error like the PCA.

Excellent. Thanks for the answer!

Mark Shevlin

Hi Sergio

I agree that its best to calculate reliability from the CFA estimates if there are correlated residuals. If you have a look at the (very old) paper here (http://www.jeremymiles.co.uk/mestuff/publications/p6.pdf) you'll see that Cronbach's alpha will be overestimated if there are systemic sources of error that have not been modelled.

Best wishes

Mark
