Coefficient Alpha and the Internal Structure of Tests

Lee J. Cronbach · 1 Sep 1951

A general formula ( α ) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test. α is therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those…

An Index of Factorial Simplicity

Henry F. Kaiser · 1 Mar 1974

An index of factorial simplicity, employing the quartimax transformational criteria of Carroll, Wrigley and Neuhaus, and Saunders, is developed. This index is both for each row separately and for a factor pattern matrix as a whole. The index varies between zero and one. The problem of calibrating the index is discussed.

A Rationale and Test for the Number of Factors in Factor Analysis

John L. Horn · 1 Jun 1965

It is suggested that if Guttman’s latent-root-one lower bound estimate for the rank of a correlation matrix is accepted as a psychometric upper bound, following the proofs and arguments of Kaiser and Dickman, then the rank for a sample matrix should be estimated by subtracting out the component in the latent roots which can be…

The Varimax Criterion for Analytic Rotation in Factor Analysis

Henry F. Kaiser · 1 Sep 1958

An analytic criterion for rotation is defined. The scientific advantage of analytic criteria over subjective (graphical) rotational procedures is discussed. Carroll's criterion and the quartimax criterion are briefly reviewed; the varimax criterion is outlined in detail and contrasted both logically and numerically with the quartimax criterion. It is shown that the normal varimax solution probably…

Multidimensional Scaling by Optimizing Goodness of Fit to a Nonmetric Hypothesis

Joseph B. Kruskal · 1 Mar 1964

Multidimensional scaling is the problem of representing n objects geometrically by n points, so that the interpoint distances correspond in some sense to experimental dissimilarities between objects. In just what sense distances and dissimilarities should correspond has been left rather vague in most approaches, thus leaving these approaches logically incomplete. Our fundamental hypothesis is that…

Psychometrika template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Psychometrika format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Psychometrika template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Psychometrika use?
Psychometrika uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Psychometrika 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Psychometrika?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Psychometrika document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Psychometrika template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Psychometrika format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Psychometrika?
Psychometrika is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Psychometrika template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Psychometrika PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Psychometrika template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Psychometrika template cost?
You can start writing in the Psychometrika template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Psychometrika PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
