Errors in O'Neil et als, (1980) Career Factor Checklist validity analyses.

J. M. O'Neil et al (see record 1981-02491-001) reported the results of a factor analysis of Career Factor Checklist (CFC) item responses. The present author contends that anomalies in the O'Neil et al report include omitting an obtained factor that was not hypothesized, omitting factor loadings incongruent with the hypothesized factors, and reporting factor loadings that were not obtained. These anomalies compromise the O'Neil et al conclusions regarding CFC validity. (3 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
