Questions
Questions (3)
Can a single measurement tool assess two psychometric properties simultaneously? For instance, can both perception and attitude towards a specific situation (X) be measured within the same tool? This question is not about a situation where sub-dimensions represent these two properties but rather whether it is technically possible.
In our study, we reached 200 participants and have identified various criteria for conducting exploratory factor analysis, such as item count being 5-10 times the number of items, KMO value, etc. However, I couldn't find a satisfactory reference in the literature regarding the sample size for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In this context, the main question is: Is a sample size of 200 sufficient for a 5-factor, 40-item scale used in the study? Another consideration is that while sample size is important, if fit index values take into account the sample size when assessing construct validity, and if the fit values are good, it might be reasonable to perform CFA with 200 participants. I am looking forward to responses from experts.
Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis are used in scale development studies. Rasch Analysis method can also be used in scale development. There are some researchers who consider the Rasch Analysis as up-to-date analysis. Frankly, I don't think so, but is there a feature that makes EFA, CFA or Rasch superior to each other in Likert type scale development?
