Resumen

Los investigadores con frecuencia se enfrentan a la difícil tarea de analizar las escalas en las que algunos de los participantes no han respondido a todos los ítems. En este artículo nos centramos en el análisis factorial exploratorio de escalas multidimensionales (es decir, escalas que constan de varias de subescalas), donde cada subescala se compone de una serie de ítems de tipo Likert, y el objetivo del análisis es estimar las puntuaciones de los participantes en los rasgos latentes correspondientes. En este contexto, se propone un nuevo enfoque para hacer frente a las respuestas faltantes que se basa en (1) la imputación múltiple de las respuestas faltantes y (2) la rotación simultánea de las muestras de datos imputados. Se ha aplicado el método en una muestra de datos reales en que las respuestas que faltantes fueron introducidas artificialmente siguiendo un patrón real de respuestas faltantes, y un estudio de simulación basado en conjuntos de datos artificiales. Los resultados muestran que nuestro enfoque (en concreto, Hot-Deck de imputación múltiple seguido de rotación Consensus Promin) es capaz de calcular correctamente la puntuación factorial estimada incluso para los participantes que tienen valores perdidos.
