Exploratory Factor Analysis with Principle Axis Factoring

Honor-related values. We used four scales to assess participants’ endorsement of the
different aspects of honor culture: honor-related violence (HRV; Henry, 2009), honor ideology
of manhood (HIM; Barnes, Brown, & Osterman, 2012), honor ideology of womanhood (HIW;
Barnes, Brown, Lenes, Bosson, & Carvallo, 2014), and the honor concerns scale (HCS; Ijzerman
et al., 2007). Because correlations between scales were substantial (ranging from .21 to .68), to
avoid redundancy we ran an exploratory factor analysis (EFA), with principal axis factoring and
oblimin rotation, to determine their latent structure. Based on Costello and Osborne’s (2005)
recommendation, items were retained if they had loadings greater than |.32| and discarded if they
loaded higher than |.32| on two factors.
