Designed for potential users of factor analysis who are willing to "let the computer do the work," but are interested in gaining a firm grasp of the conceptual foundations of the technique. It does not presume advanced mathematical or statistical skills on the reader's part.

Describes various commonly used methods of initial factoring and factor rotation. In addition to a full discussion of exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and various methods of constructing factor scales are also presented.
