Thank you so much Dr. Geiser. I refer to your videos so often that I feel like I should list you as a co-author in my work:) Could you point to some references on using CFA without EFA?
I can't think of a specific reference but I seem to remember that there was a longer discussion of the "CFA after EFA" issue on the SEMNET listserv. They may have discussed relevant references there. You can search the SEMNET archives here: listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?REPORT=SEMNET&z=4&L=SEMNET&1=SEMNET&X=&Y= This requires you to sign up for the list (it's free). Best, Christian Geiser
Dear Dr. Geiser, thank you so much for the informative video. recently, i am trying to validate a scale. However, i encoutered some issues. For example, previous studies found inconsistent results with regards of the structure. some studies suggested it is a unidimentional, while other studies suggested it is two-factor structure. i am not sure in this case, shall i use EFA or CFA first. Thank you again!

I would run a 1-factor and a 2-factor CFA model.
