DESCRIPTION:This session introduces the statistical techniques of Explorat
 ory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is
  used to uncover the latent structure (dimensions) of a set of variables. 
 It reduces the attribute space from a larger number of variables to a smal
 ler number of factors. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) examines whether
  collected data correspond to a model of what the data are meant to measur
 e. AMOS will be introduced as a powerful tool to conduct confirmatory fact
 or analysis. Understanding CFA also builds a strong foundation for the sub
 sequent SEM session. Please bring your own data or research design and we 
 will discuss possible structures and analytic techniques for your own work
