Factor analysis can only be applied to continuous variables (or) interval scaled variables. Factor analysis is like Regression analysis as it tries to ‘best fit’ the factors to a scatter diagram of data in such a way that the factors explain the variance associated with the responses to each statements. Factor analysis was conducted by the researcher in the present research in the following stages.
1. Desk Research
2. Formulation of questionnaire
3. Collection of data
4. Feeding and processing the input
5. Analyzing the output
6. Identification of factors and naming them
7. Conclusion

The test of sphericity is based on the chi-square transformation of the determination of the correlation matrix. A large value of test statistics favors the rejection of null hypothesis.
Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin measure of sampling - This index compares the magnitude of the observed correlation co-efficient to the magnitude of partial correlation co-efficient. Instant small values indicate that the correlation between pairs of variables cannot be explained by other variables and that factor analysis for evaluating a particular aspect will not be appropriate.
Eigen Values and communalities – A factor’s Eigen value or latent route is the sum of squared of its factor loading. It helps us to understand how well a given factor fits the data gathered from all sample respondents on all the statements. Communalities were the sum of squares of a statement’s factor loading, i.e., it explains how much each variables accounts for the factors taken together.
All 12 items given in the questionnaire were selected for factor analysis by using principle component extraction with an orthogonal (Varimax) rotation. The number of factors is unconstrained. For the sake of convergent validity, 0.50 was used as a factor loading cut-off

Both passages concern the same topic, the Okefenokee Swamp. Yet, through the use of various techniques, the depictions of the swamp are entirely different. While Passage 1 relies on simplicity and admiration to publicize the swamp, Passage 2 uses explicitness and disgust to emphasize the discomfort the swamp brings to visitors.
Eysenck used mathematical steps in his research. In factor analysis, the experimenter begins making specific observations of a large number of people. The information is then quantified by calculating the correlation coefficient between the variables of the experiment. The number will depend on the amount of people who participate in the study. The mathematical deductive process continues until the figures are broken down into smaller, more basic dimensions called traits existing within the factors that represent a large group of closely related variables (Feist & Feist, 2009).
All three instruments in the non-clinical group were significant correlation between them with a medium
“The Five Factor Model provides a compelling framework for building personality measures that seek to represent the domain of individual terms broadly and systematically” (Briggs, 1989 as cited in McAdams. DP, 1992, p. 332). The FFM consists of five factors (The ‘Big Five’). They are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. When measured individuals can range from extremes on each of these traits.
In this article Judge, Ilies and Colbert (2004) attempted to prove a correlation between intelligence and leadership effectiveness. They hypothesized, very clearly, that intelligence would be related positively to the perceived and objective, determined by a written test, effectiveness of leaders. Additionally, they believed that intelligence-leadership correlation is greater when assessed and measured perceptually. Finally Judge, Ilies and Colbert (2004) hypothesized that the correlation would be lower during stressful situations and for less directive leaders. To conduct this study a quantitative statistical analysis of 151 separate but similar studies from 96 different sources were analyzed which tested positive for perceptual or objective statistical significance (Judge, Ilies and Colbert, 2004). The mean correlation was calculated to determine the relationship.

Three major types of methods used for this study are “Longitudinal Research Method”, “Cross- sectional Research Method” and “Cross Sequential Method” (A cohort form of Longitudinal and cross-sectional method). “Case Study Method” and “Survey Method” also have been used (Baltes, 1968).
In the world of cinema, there’s almost always a discussion regarding what scenes would be suitable for the grasping imagination of any audience, young or old. Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film, Psycho, sparked a plug for the movie industry as it was the first movie of its kind to display such graphic scenes of sex and violence to a worldwide audience.
Intelligence is related to leadership because it require a level of intelligence to influence others successfully. One needs to be able to gather, create, and interpret a lot of information to create a vision or plan. Also, communicate the vision or plan in such a way that others
Thematic analysis depicts some level of flexibility in its theory because, it employs an analytical means and approach which is synonymous of a qualitative research (Braun
Reliability and validity are reliant on what is being measured and so they are likely to be affected, depending on context and purpose of the measurement. Taking this into consideration, the aim of this study was to develop an effective measure, with an acceptable internal reliability.
Reliability was tested and the figures obtained for Cronbalch’s alpha were low at 0.016. Cronbalch’s alpha results can be supplemented by other tests to increase accuracy.
The threats to design validity used in this study was construct validity (Donahue et al., 2008). “Construct validity of the CWEQ-II was substantiated in a confirmatory factor analysis that revealed a good fit of thy hypothesized factor structure (RMSEA = .054)” (Donahue et al., 2008, p. 3). Factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity of the survey, the results conf...
