KEŞFEDİCİ VE DOĞRULAYICI FAKTÖR ANALİZİ: KAVRAMSAL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Ölçek geliştirme, geçerlilik ve güvenirlik çalışmalarında faktör analizleri en önemli kriterlerin başında gelmektedir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada öncelikle faktör analizlerine genel olarak değinilmiş daha sonrasında keşfedici ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizlerine kritik noktalarına yer verilmiştir. Araştırmacıların analizleri uygulama sırasında hangi noktalara dikkat etmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Bu kapsamda literatürde araştırmacılara katkı sağlamak ve ilgili analizler noktasında pratik bilgiler sunmak analiz sırasında dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar üzerinde durmak ve ileride yapılacak araştırmalara bir rehber olması hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışma ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde geniş bir literatür taraması yapılarak bir derleme halinde hazırlanmıştır.

EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS: A CONCEPTUAL STUDY

Öz

Factor analyses are one of the most important criteria in scale development, validity and reliability studies. In this direction, firstly, factor analyses were mentioned in general and then the critical points of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were given. It is emphasised which points the researchers should pay attention to during the application of the analyses. In this context, it is aimed to contribute to the researchers in the literature and to provide practical information on the relevant analyses, to focus on the issues to be considered during the analysis and to be a guide for future research. This study has been prepared as a compilation by making a wide literature review at national and international level.
