I got a standardized loading exceeding -1.0 for one of 34 dichotomous items using EFA procedure of Mplus. It seems extraordinary for me, and thus I'm not sure whether it's a correct estimation.

Factor loadings greater than one can occur. For example, this may be a result of negative residual variances or an otherwise misspecified model.

I remember somewhere in this discussion space a published article was referred on this topic. Would you please cite this article again here? Thanks.

Why does Mplus 7 no longer produce standardized factor loadings for EFA?

Not sure what you mean - EFA results are already standardized by the fact that we analyze a correlation matrix and fix factor variances at 1. And for ESEM, one can request standardization.

If we change scale of observed variable(s), what happen for our results in EFA?
for ex. if weight(kg) change to weight(gr)

You results will not change if you multiply or divide your variables by a constant.
