Abstract:
|
Factor analysis (FA) is an important methodology of the social sciences. Reviews of FA applications, however, reveal general misuses by researchers. These misuses can be partly attributed to the inability to interpret and convey the large quantity of parameter estimates in typical factor analyses. I propose the tableplot as a more effective means of presenting FA results. I illustrate how this new display can improve applications of FA.
