Dear all
I just have a couple of questions regarding my results and I wondered if=20= 

anyone could help. The first is regarding eigenvalue's/% of variance=20
explained - the prerotation values are:=20
Factor=09Eigenvalue=09As Percentage=09Cumulative percentage
1=0920.78=09             61.12=0961.12
2=091.74=09             5.13=0966.26
3=091.13=09             3.34=0969.60
4=091.00=09             2.95=0972.55

ect...

but the post rotation ones are higher (see below), why is this, I'm going= 
=20
to have to explain it in a viva potentially.

Secondly, I would like to look at subgroups within my data, but dont want= 
=20
to delete sorts from the file to do this. Is there a way of "ignoring"=20= 

certain participants sorts or making a new file (with copied data) so I c= 
an=20
delete the unwanted sorts?

Thank you very much for any help!
