one big fat factor!!
model 1.Y = X + V + X*V
model 2. Y = X + V + X*V + M1 + M2
model 3.(M1, M2) = X + V + X*V"
(please refer to my curvilinear regression post onSPSS board, its the same research )
So I am testing the models above, at first, I did a factor analysis, except my X and Y, all other variables m1 m 2 and V, turned out to be one big fat factor. in the factor analysis , it was revealed as one component. OMG

What should I do now?
can I just igore the fact and continue with my analysis?
because of the nature of experimental study, it is okay?
