Cover Story: Confirmatory factor analysis is some of the most widely used statistical techniques in the social sciences. Two competing estimation approaches can be distinguished. First, ordinal variables could be treated as in the case of continuous variables using Pearson correlations. Second, an ordinal factor analysis based on polychoric correlations can be fitted. The analysis based on polychoric correlations is often preferred because using Pearson correlations results in biased factor loadings and biased factor correlations. This article argues that it is not legitimate to speak about bias because it depends on how true model parameters are defined. It is shown that using polychoric instead of Pearson correlations can also lead to biased estimates of factor loadings and factor correlations. View this paper.
