SPSS Correlation Matrix Guide

This document provides instructions for inputting a correlation matrix into SPSS and performing factor analysis on the correlation matrix. It includes: 1) Syntax to define a correlation matrix with variables and data values and input it into SPSS. 2) An example of the syntax used to input a correlation matrix with 4 variables and correlation values. 3) Syntax for performing an exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring extraction and no rotation on the input correlation matrix.

Dear Dr. Wuensch
I hope you can help. After performing a first order factor analysis with oblique rotation I wish
to subject the correlations between the factors to a second order factor analysis. Can you
please give advice on how to use the correlation matrix as input for a factor analysis?
Sincerely
Deon de Bruin

Yes, quite easy. This assumes the matrix is in an open spreadsheet. You can also read the matrix in as
part of the job. Ill see if I can find an example of that if youre interested.
