1 Paper 200-31 Exploratory or Confirmatory Factor analysis ? Diana D. Suhr, University of Northern Colorado Abstract Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA) could be described as orderly simplification of interrelated measures. EFA, traditionally, has been used to explore the possible underlying Factor structure of a set of observed variables without imposing a preconceived structure on the outcome (Child, 1990). By performing EFA, the underlying Factor structure is identified. Confirmatory Factor analysis (CFA) is a statistical technique used to verify the Factor structure of a set of observed variables.
