Dear Shyth-Mee Tan, I agree with Dr. Prabhakar comment on October 19, 2010 at 2:53am. There are some statistical software packages to do it, my prefer is R language... it's free... I suppose you know that factors aren't a unique solution and the optimal interpretation is catched up after factors rotation.

Dear Kerry,

Dear Shyh-Mee Tan, Greetings. My suggestion is to go with exploratory factor analysis. You can identify the latent variables. Once you identify the latent variables, if you develop a model and want to confirm how the model fits the data you can use confirmatory factor analysis. This way you can obtain better insights.
Yours sincerely,
KPrabhakar

There is a book in Sage's Quantitative Applications in Social Sciences (the slim green, paperbook series) on factor analysis, which is a good introduction to factor analysis. As you read, you may want to think about whether there is any strong theory in your field as to how components in your factor analysis might relate to one another/the underlying concept. I don't think anyone here can give you an authoritative answer on CFA vs EFA without knowing a lot more about how you plan to use factor analysis and what your research question is.

Dear friends,
One of my research questions is to determine the factors affecting the implementation of information literacy in schools. How do I do factor analysis? Do I do an exploratory factor analysis which analyzes all the variables in my questionnaires? or Do I do a confirmatory factor analysis which analyzes only the variables/ factors from my literature review? Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks n regards,
shyh mee
