Since that time, EFA has become one of the most commonly used quantitative methods in many of the social sciences, including psychology, business, sociology, education, political science, and communications. To a lesser extent, it has also been utilized within the physical and biological sciences. Despite its long and widespread usage in many domains, numerous aspects of the underlying theory and applUnderstanding StatisticsFactor analysisPsychologyMathematical modelsSocial sciencesMathematical modelsFactor analysis.PsychologyMathematical models.Social sciencesMathematical models.001.4/22001.422Fabrigar Leandre R1612757Wegener Duane Theodore1612758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824998003321Exploratory factor analysis3941719UNINA
