Small samples can lead to the identification of incorrect factor structures and item loadings (both direction and magnitude).

Thus, small samples can affect your results and limit your ability to discern how they might affect them!
Now the best solution to the small sample dilemma is to get more data. More subjects or observations can be added to a sample to improve the potential replicability of the results. However, if this is not a possibility (we all have limited resources and funds!), an alternative ...
