Answer 1

Rotation is a process by which a factor solution is made more interpretable by altering the underlying mathematical structure.

This Statement is False.

Because, Process by which a factor solution is made more interpretable without altering the underlying mathematical structure.

Purpose to find best distribution of the factor loadings in terms of the meanings of factors.

Orthogonal rotation is a rotation of factors that results in factors being correlated with each other.

This Statement is False.

Because, rotations that assume the factors are not correlated are called orthogonal rotations.

Oblique rotation results in factors being uncorrelated with each other.

This Statement is False.

Because, rotations that allow for correlation are called oblique rotations.

Varimax is the most commonly used oblique rotation procedure.

This Statement is False.

Because, it is the orthogonal basis that is being rotated.

A factor correlation matrix is produced from an orthogonal rotation.

This Statement is True

Because, a factor correlation matrix is produced from an orthogonal rotation.
