If a researcher desires to rotate a factor analysis solution so that the factors are independent of one another and the correlation between them is 0, which factor rotation solution should be used?
A) perpendicular
B) orthogonal
C) oblique
D) parallel
E) complete

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An orthogonal rotation is a type of factor rotation where the factor axes are perpendicular or orthogonal to one another, meaning they are independent and the correlation between them is 0. This is the type of rotation that would be used in order to obtain uncorrelated factors.
