摘要：Following an exploratory factor analysis, factor scores may be computed and used in subsequent
analyses. Factor scores are composite variables which provide information about an individual’s
placement on the factor(s). This article discusses popular methods to create factor scores under two
different classes: refined and non-refined. Strengths and considerations of the various methods, and for
using factor scores in general, are discussed.
