A Comparative Evaluation of Several Prominent Methods of Oblique Factor Transformation.
TLDR
The oblimax, promax, maxplane, and Harris-Kaiser techniques are compared and the Harris- Kaiser procedure—independent cluster version for factorially simple data,P'P proportional to φ, with equamax rotations, for complex—is recommended.Abstract:
The oblimax, promax, maxplane, and Harris-Kaiser techniques are compared. For five data sets, of varying reliability and factorial complexity, each having a graphic oblique solution (used as criterion), solutions obtained using the four methods are evaluated on (1) hyperplane-counts, (2) agreement of obtained with graphic within-method primary factor correlations and angular separations, (3) angular separations between obtained and corresponding graphic primary axes. The methods are discussed and ranked (descending order): Harris-Kaiser, promax, oblimax, maxplane. The Harris-Kaiser procedure—independent cluster version for factorially simple data,P'P proportional to φ, with equamax rotations, for complex—is recommended.read more

Evaluating the use of exploratory factor analysis in psychological research.
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the major design and analytical decisions that must be made when conducting exploratory factor analysis and notes that each of these decisions has important consequences for the obtained results, and the implications of these practices for psychological research are discussed.

Continued Attachment to Parents: Its Relationship To Affect Regulation and Perceived Stress among College Students.
TL;DR: In this article, the factor pattern of parental attachment measures was examined as well as the relationship of the resultant oblique factors to emotional functioning and perceived stress, and the relationship between these factors and emotional functioning was investigated.

The varimax criterion for analytic rotation in factor analysis
TL;DR: In this article, an analytic criterion for rotation is defined and the scientific advantage of analytic criteria over subjective (graphical) rotational procedures is discussed, and a computational outline for the orthogonal normal varimax is appended.

Promax: a quick method for rotation to oblique simple structure
TL;DR: A new method for analytical rotation to oblique simple structure is described in this paper, which is achieved by means of any of several existing rotation methods and this is then transformed into an oblique solution.
