• Perceptions of School Climate as a Function of Bullying Involvement (2014, methodology): “Oblique rotation (Promax) was used as factors were expected to be correlated (Finch, 2006).”
• Factor Loading Estimation Error and Stability Using Exploratory Factor Analysis (2010, background): “Finch (2006) showed that when factor are highly correlated (r ¼ .80), items tended not to reproduce the simulated simple structure using a varimax rotation, which is expected because the incorrect model (i.e., orthogonal) was specified.”
