TLDR
The use and misuse of PCA for measuring well-being is discussed, some applications to real data are shown, and the technique is shown to be suitable for all types of indicators.Abstract:
The measurement of well-being of people is very difficult because it is characterized by a multiplicity of aspects or dimensions. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is probably the most popular multivariate statistical technique for reducing data with many dimensions and, often, well-being indicators are reduced to a single index of well-being by using PCA. However, PCA is implicitly based on a reflective measurement model that is not suitable for all types of indicators. In this paper, we discuss the use and misuse of PCA for measuring well-being, and we show some applications to real data.read more

A Critical Review of Construct Indicators and Measurement Model Misspecification in Marketing and Consumer Research
TL;DR: A set of conceptual criteria is developed that can be used to determine whether a construct should be modeled as having formative or reflective indicators, and an estimate of the extent of measurement model misspecification in the field is estimated.
