M-EQ Factor Loadings from Exploratory Factor Analysis (n=232)

Factor loadings for the M-EQ instrument derived from Exploratory Factor Analysis using the oblimin method on a sample of 232 participants. The dataset was authored by Su Woan Wo and is hosted on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 19, 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate the factor structure of the M-EQ instrument based on reported factor loadings.
• Compare factor solutions using the oblimin rotation method.
• Inform scale refinement or item selection for psychological questionnaires.
• Replicate or extend exploratory factor analysis in psychometric research.

Strengths

• Factor loadings are derived from a specific sample size of 232 participants.
• The analysis method (EFA with oblimin rotation) is explicitly stated.
• Dataset is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
