Subject:      Computing factor scores for pre-set factors
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I need to obtain factor scores for factors with already set items in
them. That is, I'm using an instrument that has already been factor
analyzed and the item content of the factors is already set in
stone. I need to obtain the factor scores for these factors using the
Bartlett method.  I have followed the instructions for the MGFA from
SPSS's AnswerNet, but I am still lost.

I am working on my doctoral dissertation and am under deadline (of
course).

I am using SPSS Base 10.0.7 (Graduate Pack) for Windows ME.

Can you help?

Thanks very much.
