  12. Number of Sea Monsters By looking at the correlations between all the parts we can see (observable behaviors), we can infer something about their underlying nature (theoretical constructs) DevPsy.org

  13. Number of Sea Monsters Factor Analysis is a statistical method that looks at how lots of different observations correlate and determines how many theoretical constructs could most simply explain what you see. DevPsy.org
