Brief Report: Bartlett's Test of Sphericity and Chance Findings in Factor Analysis

Abstract: Bartlett's test of sphericitg: was applied to a correlation matrix computed on random normal deviates by Armstrong and Soelberg (1968), and returned a chi square value indicating that the matrix could have been generated from a population where the correlation coefficients are zero. These results re- emphasize the desirability of computing this test prior to proceeding t o factor extraction, and in accord with the findings of other writers, indicate this test to be sensitive in detecting results which can be a… Show more

“…The Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin value, wh ich is a measure of the sampling adequacy, was .931, a value that greatly exceeded the minimu m reco mmended value of .60[see [50][51][52]. The Bartlett's Test of Sphericity [53] for this pool of crime-reporting items also reached the statistical significance of p < .000, which tells us that the analyses supported the elements that contributed to the results of the correlation mat rix[see 54,55]. In other words, the relationships between items in the scale were statistically significant.…”

“…The validity of the questionnaire is measured by using Bartlett Test of Sphericity [11] and KMO 1 index [12] which is shown in Table 2. In this study, Bartlett Test of Sphericity is significant at a significance level of 0.05 because significance P <0.05 and also the KMO value is desirable.…”
