* SEM was used in this study because it allows the use of latent
variables and calculates estimated values of variables in a
much more reliable way.
Notes:-
Ex) The more time you spend to study, the higher the grade
you will achieved.
Notes:-
Factor analysis is a way to take a mass of data and shrinking it to a
smaller data set so that it is more manageable and more
understandable.
Findings
* If the KMO value is higher than 0.60 and a result from Bartletts
test is significant, hence, the data are suitable for factor
analysis.
* Based on the result of the EFA, the items with a factor load
of less than 0.40 which were seen to be double loaded will
be removed from the model.
* However, before starting the analysis, the model that use latent
variables should be individually tested to be compatible with the
SEM.
