Meaningful interpretations of scores derived from psychological scales depend on the replicability of psychometric properties. Despite this, and unexpected inconsistencies in psychometric results across studies, psychometrics has often been overlooked in the replication literature. In this article, we begin to address replication issues in exploratory factor analysis (EFA). We use a Monte Carlo simulation to investigate methodological choices made throughout the EFA process that have the potential to add heterogeneity to results. Our findings show that critical decision points for EFA include the method for determining the number of factors as well as rotation. The results also demonstrate the relevancy of data characteristics, as some contexts are more susceptible to the effects of methodological choice on the heterogeneity of results.

Although pesticides have been a constant concern for decades, in the last ten years, public discussions and scientific research have emphasized their impact on human health and the environment, drawing increased attention to the problems associated with their use. The association of environmental stressors such as pesticides with a sugar-rich diet can contribute to the growing global metabolic disease epidemic through overlapping mechanisms of insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the behavioral effects of the exposure of Silver crucian carp () to a commercial insecticide formulation containing fipronil, pyriproxyfen, and other additives, as well as sucrose and their mixtures.
