Factor Indeterminacy in the 1930's and the 1970's: Some Interesting Parallels.
TLDR
The issue of factor indeterminacy, and its meaning and significance for factor analysis, has been the subject of considerable debate in recent years as discussed by the authors, and there are strong parallels between the arguments in the early literature, and those which have appeared in recent papers.Abstract:
The issue of factor indeterminacy, and its meaning and significance for factor analysis, has been the subject of considerable debate in recent years. Interestingly, the identical issue was discussed widely in the literature of the late 1920's and early 1930's, but this early discussion was somehow lost or forgotten during the development and popularization of multiple factor analysis. There are strong parallels between the arguments in the early literature, and those which have appeared in recent papers. Here I review the history of this early literature, briefly survey the more recent work, and discuss these parallels where they are especially illuminating.read more

Structural equation modeling in practice: a review and recommended two-step approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development, and present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests.

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.

Two Structural Equation Models: LISREL and PLS Applied to Consumer Exit-Voice Theory:
Claes Fornell,Fred L. Bookstein +1 more
TL;DR: In marketing applications of structural equation models with unobservable variables, researchers have relied almost exclusively on LISREL for parameter estimation as mentioned in this paper, which has been little used in practice.
Chapter 28 How to Write Up and Report PLS Analyses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a basic framework for researchers interested in reporting the results of their Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyses, and provide a discussion of key differences and rationale that researchers can use to support their use of PLS.

Review of General Intelligence, Objectively Determined and Measured.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a preliminary investigation into the causes of weakness in Experimental Psychology, and conclude that the root cause of this weakness is the identification of science with psychology.
