The Mixer: Introducing the Concept of Factor Analysis
Segrist, Dan J.; Pawlow, Laura A.
Teaching of Psychology, v34 n2 p121-123 2007
This study entailed the development and implementation of a classroom activity designed to introduce students to the concept of factor analysis. We implemented the activity in both a personality theories course and a tests and measurements course. Data suggest that students learned about factor analysis from this activity, while enjoying it. Professors can easily modify this activity to meet the needs of a variety of psychology courses in which factor analysis is relevant or discussed.
