trust

A subset of the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) 2018
 containing its trust items (F018).

datasets

An alternative to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for
metrical data in R. Drawing on characteristics of classical test
theory, Exploratory Likert Scaling (ELiS) supports the user exploring
multiple one-dimensional data structures. In common research practice,
however, EFA remains the go-to method to uncover the (underlying)
structure of a data set. Orthogonal dimensions and the potential of
overextraction are often accepted as side effects. As described in
M<c3><bc>ller-Schneider (2001) <doi:10.1515/zfsoz-2001-0404>), ELiS confronts
these problems. As a result, 'elisr' provides the platform to fully
exploit the exploratory potential of the multiple scaling approach
itself.

Participants were asked about their trust in public institutions and
 organizations. `1` means they have absolutely no trust at all, whereas `7`
 represents a great deal of trust. The data frame has 3477 rows and 13
