“…However, these cautions seem to have had rather little impact on methodological choices made in many applications of EFA. Articles published in recent years in respected journals (e.g., Beidel, Turner, & Morris, 1995;Bell-Dolan & Allan, 1998;Brown, Schulberg, & Madonia, 1995;Collinsworth, Strom, & Strom, 1996;Copeland, Brandon, & Quinn, 1995;Dunn, Ryan, & Paolo, 1994;Dyce, 1996;Enns & Reddon, 1998;Flowers & Algozzine, 2000;Gass, Demsky, & Martin, 1998;Kier & Buras, 1999;Kwan, 2000;Lawrence et al, 1998;Osman, Barrios, Aukes, & Osman, 1995;Shiarella, McCarthy, & Tucker, 2000;Yanico & Lu, 2000) continue to follow the Little Jiffy approach in whole or in part, undoubtedly yielding some potentially misleading factor analytic results. Repeated use of less than optimal methods reinforces such use in the future.…”
