Question

What is the different between these two types of rotation?
A)There are no differences,they are the same process used on different types of data set.
B)The factors are allowed to correlate in oblique rotation,but remain uncorrelated in orthogonal correlation.
C)The factors are allowed to correlate in orthogonal rotation,but remain uncorrelated in oblique rotation.
D)Orthogonal rotation is used on large data sets,whereas oblique rotation can only be used on small data sets (fewer than 25 participants).

Accepted Answer

Orthogonal rotation assumes that the factors are uncorrelated, maintaining a 90-degree angle between axes. In contrast, oblique rotation allows for correlations between factors, acknowledging that in many real-world scenarios, underlying factors are not completely independent.
