The influence of communality andN on the sampling distributions of factor loadings

The effects ofN and communality on the variability of zero and nonzero factor loadings were assessed using a Monte Carlo approach. It was found that increasingN or communality resulted in decreased sampling error of individual factor loadings, but for zero loadingsN was found to have the greatest influence. It was also found that distributions of factor loadings become relatively elongated as communality increases.
