Abstract
The final study of the present thesis aimed at identifying the underlying factor structure of the experienced musical instrument quality using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). With this approach correlative relations among variables are investigated, which allows for a reduction of the present items to fewer latent factors. Furthermore, EFA is often used for detecting inadequate items and provides decision rules for retaining or removing items.
