factor naming Explanation: The rotated factors were submitted to several experts on MMPI for factor naming. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1984-30436-001 The plain answer is that factor naming is an after-the-fact, ad hoc enterprise, in which the interpreter can usually render fairly plausible why some of the tests should have moderate-to-high loadings on a factor christened “X,” has to work a little harder to explain some of the others, and then finds himself either expressing complete bafflement or indulging in one or another kind of special pleading by way of explaining away a couple of embarrassing factor loadings. https://meehl.umn.edu/sites/meehl.umn.edu/files/files/088rit... |
