Comprehensive tutorial: Exploratory factor analysis using SPSS (see links in video description)

This video tutorial walks you through an example of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using SPSS. In this video, I begin by showing you how to assess the factorability of the correlation matrix, then proceed to approaches for determining the number of factors, and then final extraction, rotation, and interpretation of factors. I illustrate how to identify thematic content in items when naming the factors.

I’m taking a multi-variate data analysis course this semester and this video was so very helpful. I could follow along in SPSS and the explanations along the way were great. Thank you.

It's a fantastic tutorial! Many of my questions about EFA have been cleared. May I ask how you often deal with the cross-loading indicators?

Thanks for this video, Dr. Crowson. As I said before, I am a BIG fan of you. Can you do me a favor? I would like you to upload a tutorial example of EFA using MPLUS. This is because I am a Mplus user. Please give me your help!!

Thanks so much for this! Just had one question- when I try to run the syntax on my SPSS (changing only the variable names) it comes up with the following error message:

Thank you Prof for this tutorial. After doing factor analysis , I got the determinant value as 2.949E-20. How can this be interpreted? Is the data fit for Factor analysis?

@Mike Crowson thank you for this insightful video. I really learnt a lot from your presentation. Please, I kindly want to know after identifying what items load unto which component or factor. what is the next level of analysis to bring all the associated items together into a variable.
