Preferred term

communality  

Definition(s)

  • Communality is a squared variance-accounted-for statistic reflecting how much variance in measured variables is reproduced by the latent constructs (e.g., the factors) in a model. Conversely, communality can be conceptualized as how much of the variance of a measured/observed variable is useful in delineating the latent/composite variables in the model.
