摘　　要：因子的确证问题关系到因子分析中保留几个因子,甚至关系到心理测量学的未来发展。历史上曾出现过三种取向:数理取向、哲理取向和心理取向。数理取向认为因子的确证应在与别的因子的数理关系中进行;哲理取向认为因子的确证应在逻辑关系中进行的;心理取向则认为因子的确证需要有心理基础。对于心理取向的漠视阻碍了研究者对因子实质的深入思考,造成研究难以深入,研究未整合等诸多问题。整合三种取向有利于建立正确的因子分析的研究观念。One key issue of factor analysis is to determine the number of factors. The problem can be induced into a basic question, i. e. how to confirm a factor？ There are three approaches. They are mathematical approach, philosophical approach, and psychological ap- proach. The mathematical approach insisted confirmation of a factor should base on mathematical relationship. The philosophical ap- proach considered the logical rules is determination principle. And the psychological approach insisted a factor should have a psycholog- ical base which was the quality of a factor. However, the community of researchers has been suspecting the existence of psyche of human being which made the researcher did not try to think the essence of factor and leaves some questions in factor analysis practice. For in- stances,we did not have an almost standards to determine the number of factors in factor analysis,and we did not reorganize the con- cepts produced by factor analyses into the system of psychology. A correct insistence is to integrate the three approaches.
