| Abstract | Both common factor analysis and components analysis are useful techniques for reducing the number of variables in a data set or for identifying underlying covariance structures that exist among a set of variables. Although researchers have for some years debated the appropriateness of selecting one of these methods over the other, components analysis has traditionally been the dominant strategy among educational researchers. Following a brief overview of the logic of factor analysis, a review of several studies comparing the common factor and principal components methods is presented. Actual educational research data are used to demonstrate cases in which the two methods will produce different results. Data used in these analyses were collected from 70 preservice and inservice teachers using a 3-subscale "logic of confidence" measure developed by K. R. Okeafor and others (1987). Guidelines are presented to assist the researcher in determining which method to use in specific research situations. Six tables illustrate the analyses. A 49-item list of references is included.
