本文讨论了探索性因素分析，并概述了统计技术以及如何在各种研究设计和应用中使用。该技术如何工作的基本轮廓和它的标准，包括它的主要假设进行了讨论，以及当它应该被使用。探索数学理论，启发学生如何探索性因素分析工程，一个例子，如何运行一个探索性因素分析的SPSS，最后一节如何写了结果提供。这将使读者更好地了解何时使用因子分析以及如何解释输出中的表格和图表。
The following paper discusses exploratory factor analysis and gives an overview of the statistical technique and how it is used in various research designs and applications. A basic outline of how the technique works and its criteria, including its main assumptions are discussed as well as when it should be used. Mathematical theories are explored to enlighten students on how exploratory factor analysis works, an example of how to run an exploratory factor analysis on SPSS is given, and finally a section on how to write up the results is provided. This will allow readers to develop a better understanding of when to employ factor analysis and how to interpret the tables and graphs in the output.
