There exist differences between the use of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor analysis at scale adaptation or development studies. The order of factor analysis used would cause the discrepancy in the results. Besides, multiple confirmatory factor analysis would fit well on a single data set. In this study, simulated data sets were fitted to three different models. Based on the results 64% of the data sets fit well on all three models. Also, a different data set was fit both on a confirmatory and an exploratory factor analysis. The result showed that confirmatory factor analyses were not sufficient to detect the best fitting model.

Ölçek uyarlama veya geliştirme çalışmalarında Açımlayıcı ve Doğrulayıcı
Faktör Analizlerinin kullanımında farklılıklar oluşmaktadır.  Faktör analizlerinin kullanım sırası
sonuçların değişmesine sebep olabilir. Ayrıca, faklı doğrulayıcı faktör analizi
modelleri aynı veriye uyum sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmada suni olarak oluşturulmuş
veri setleri üç farklı modele göre test edilmiştir. Sonuçlar göre veri
setlerinin %64’ü her üç modele göre de uyum göstermektedir. Bunun yanı sıra bir
veri seti doğrulayıcı ve açımlayıcı faktör analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Sonuçlar
göstermiştir ki, sadece doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılması en iyi uyum
gösteren modelin belirlenmesinde yetersiz kalmıştır
