Confirmatory factor analysis

[Annemiek Kamphuis]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody knew how to perform a confirmatory factor analysis with SPSS. I already did an exploratory factor analysis that did not result in anything very useful. I can check reliability of my theoretical factors by computing Cronbach's Alpha, but what I need is a table with explained variance per factor.

Thanks in advance,

Annemiek

Don't you get this info when you run the exploratory factor analysis?
