- Written by social psychologists Lee Fabrigar (Queen's University) and Duane Wegener (Ohio State University)
- Conceptual (non-mathematical)
- Focused on understanding and making informed choices (e.g., method of model fitting, number of factors, rotation of factors) when using EFA to identify constructs or build measures
- Provides example analyses (using widely available software, including SPSS, SAS, and a free downloadable program, CEFA) in book and on accompanying web site
- Part of new Oxford University Press (OUP) series on Understanding Statistics
- Advance copies are in; officially available for sale on 11/24 (at OUP site or Amazon)
- Available for Winter 2012 classes (should serve well to cover the EFA portion of a more general multivariate statistics or covariance structure modeling/structural equation modeling course)
- An accessible introduction for people wanting to learn EFA without taking a course on EFA
