Hutcheson: Dictionary of Quantitative Methods in Management. Sage Publications Principal Components Analysis Introduction Principal Components Analysis (PCA) attempts to analyse the structure in a data set in order to define uncorrelated components that capture the variation in the data. The identification of components is often desirable as it is usually easier to consider a relatively small number of unrelated components which have been derived from the data than a larger group of related variables

C8057 (Research Methods II): Factor Analysis on SPSS Factor Analysis Using SPSS The theory of factor analysis was described in your lecture‚ or read Field (2005) Chapter 15. Example Factor analysis is frequently used to develop questionnaires: after all if you want to measure an ability or trait‚ you need to ensure that the questions asked relate to the construct that you intend to measure. I have noticed that a lot of students become very stressed about SPSS. Therefore I wanted to design

report Preliminary analysis Since the data of all variables are non-metric and ordinal‚ there is no appropriate preliminary analysis can be performed. The descriptive statistics of the variable (table 1) below show that most respondent’s answers falls between 3 to 4 and close to 4 which denote the perception of neutral to agree. That is‚ most answers are positive indicating the students are not on average dissatisfy with the teaching of the subject. Figure 1 |

FACTOR ANALYSIS Factor analysis is a general name denoting a class of procedures primarily used for data reduction and summarization. It is used in the following circumstances: • To identify underlying dimensions or factors‚ that explains the correlations among the set of variables. • To identify new‚ smaller set of uncorrelated variables to replace the original set of correlated variables in subsequent multivariate analysis. • To identify smaller set of salient variables from a larger set for
