Varimax rotation was chosen because it selects the factors that do not correlate strongly (orthogonalrotation).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The 'varimax'orthogonalrotationmethod was used to ensure that the factors produced by this analysis would be uncorrelated with one another.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In view of these low correlations, an exploratoryorthogonalrotationwas tried, and although it yielded a similar factorial structure, factors were less well determined and contained several complex variables.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Factor analysis tends to emphasize differences between the magnitudes of the correlations among various sets of items rather than the coherence among the measures, especially whenorthogonalrotationis utilized.
From theCambridge English Corpus
An advantage oforthogonalrotationis its simplicity and conceptual clarity, although there are several disadvantages.
