“…In particular, the use of the component or principal axis estimation method has been strongly criticized since it would not respond to the general objectives and postulates of EFA (Lorret-Segura, Ferreres-Traver, Hernández-Baeza, & Tomás-Marco, 2014). The latter has been applied in twelve of the nineteen antecedents that have applied EFA (63.25%; Huebner & Dew, 1995;Kown, Kalpakjian, & Roller, 2010;Krohne, Egloff, Kohlmann, & Tausch, 1996;López-Gómez, Hervás, & Vázquez, 2015;Melvin & Molloy, 2000;Nunes, Lemos, Ribas, Behar, & Pires, 2019;Pires, Filgueiras, Ribas, & Santana, 2013;Robles & Páez, 2003;Sandín et al, 1999;Santángalo, Brandariz, Cremonte, & Conde, 2019;Terracciano, McCrae & Costa Jr., 2003;Thompson, 2007). It is relevant to note that of the remaining priors, three have applied the maximum likelihood estimation method that assumes quantitative indicators and normal distributions of scores (15.78%; Killgore, 2020;Moriondo, De Palma, Medrano, & Murillo, 2010;Mota de Sousa, Marques-Vieira, Severino, Rosado, & José, 2016).…”
