Hi Shari,
Yes, please look at the documentation for principal. You can access
this (assuming you have loaded psych) by typing at the console:
?principal
note the logical argument "scores".
Here is a small example:
##############################
require(psych)
require(GPArotation)
dat <- principal(mtcars[, c("mpg", "hp", "wt")], nfactors = 1,
rotate = "oblimin", scores = TRUE)
dat$scores
##############################
Cheerio,
Josh
