Dear Nuno,

I have created a couple of working papers which seek to simplify this process for people using SPSS.

One is for a single indicator: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280936182_Advice_on_Reliability_Analysis_with_Small_Samples

The other is for multiple indicators: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304490328_Advice_on_Exploratory_Factor_Analysis

Both papers are referenced.
