5.0 out of 5 stars
Well written, easy to follow
Many other books focus much on how to calculate and do not do too well at letting you understand the conceptual aspect of statistics. However, this book is about understanding the topic conceptually. Why do we do factor analysis? Etc. this is why I love it. It is written in very clear language, and has many useful references to go from. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis: Understanding Concepts and Applications (Hardcover)
The book deals quite well with Exploratory Factor Analysis, but the confirmatory part is disappointing. The basics are well explained though. Although it is easy to follow, it doesn't exhaust the topic and doesn't tackle cases that are a little bit more complicated than too-easy-to-be-true book examples. Once you have your data that might be not normally distributed, you will hardly understand how to deal with a CFA with this book. When purchasing this book, I thought I would get answers such as "what goodness of fit indexes to use with non normal data? How do I proceed with SPSS or SAS to compute the CFA? etc."
