Makalede, keşfedici ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri anlatılmış ve bu analizleri doğru ele alabilmek için gerekli püf noktalara değinilmiştir. Uygulamacıların bu faktör analizlerini gerçekleştirirken dikkat etmesi gereken noktalar ve analizler sonucu elde edilecek çıktı tablolarının yorumlanması üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu tablolarda yer alan değerlerin ne anlama geldiği ve özellikle de faktör analizlerinin geriye dönük kontrolü bağlamında nasıl kullanılabileceğine yönelik ipuçları verilmiştir.

Factor Analysis and Validity in Social Sciences: Application of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses

Öz

In this paper, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses are detailed. Best practises and some key topics for aforementioned analyses are evaluated. The important points of factor analysis and values extracted from the results tables are noted and the meanings of the key values are investigated both for meaning and especially for control of the final results.
