I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I’m looking to test differences between factor loadings on two iterations of the same scale. That is, I have a set of items measuring media use motivations for one medium, and the same for another medium (i.e., repeated measures). I want to determine whether the differences in loadings on specific items -- the actual factors themselves come out nearly identical for both media -- are significant, but I can’t find any description of a test to do this.
Can I use the Pearson-Filon test for comparing correlated correlations to determine whether individual loadings on each of the factoring iterations are significantly different? If so, is there supporting literature that I overlooked? If not, is there another relevant test?
Thanks.
