These files contain the code and data to evaluate the impact of an agreeing response style (ARS) on the assessment of the psychometric properties of unidimensional and multidimensional scales using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Specifically, through a simulation study we assessed (a) the selected number of factors, and the recovery of factor loadings and correlations when ARS was (b) taken into count (i.e., extracted), and (c) ignored (i.e., not extracted)

Data is openly available and can be found at https://osf.io/bn63u/files/osfstorage. See the file Data Report - Replication Data for - Awareness Is Bliss - How Acquiescence Affects Exploratory Factor Analysis.pdf for, among other things, more information about the files and how they relate.
