comunalidad
- One limitation of the current study can be found in the low communalities of several of the number sense subtests.
- communalities of variables
- communality values
- low communality
Examples
-
When variables have low communalities, it means that the common factors explain little variance in the variables.
Academic text (2010) -
All 24 items had communalities of at least 0.30 and above.
Academic text (2007) -
Furthermore, the small communality values for the five-component solution were perhaps an indicator of measurement error (Thompson, 2004).
Academic text (2005) -
In the current study, estimation demonstrated lower internal consistency, which might have caused these subtests to have low communalities.
Academic text (2010) -
The factor pattern and factor structure coefficients are presented in Table 2, along with communalities (h) of the measured variables.
Academic text (2007) -
Pattern coefficients and communalities for the oblique (Promax) four-factor solution are presented in Table 3.
Academic text (2006) -
The communality of the variables indicates how much variance is shared among them in the analysis.
-
Researchers found that high communality values could enhance the model's explanatory power.
-
In factor analysis, high communalities suggest that the variables represent a common underlying factor.

Etymology
Communality in statistics keeps the root commun- meaning 'shared' and describes how much a variable's information is 'shared' with other variables or common factors. So a high communality means the variable largely 'shares' its behavior with the group.
