Varimax Rotation

Varimax Rotation is a statistical technique used in factor analysis to make the results more interpretable. It adjusts the factors so that each one loads highly on a few specific variables and low on others, leading to clearer, simpler patterns. Think of it like reorganizing a cluttered workspace so related items are grouped together, making it easier to identify meaningful relationships. This process helps researchers understand the underlying factors driving the data, by producing a clearer and more straightforward pattern of how variables relate to each factor.
