Ringkasan	Multivariate quantitative content analysis (MQCA) is a systematic, replicable approach to measuring multiple attributes of communication content simultaneously and examining how those attributes relate to each other or to external variables. It extends standard content analysis by applying multivariate statistical techniques — such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, regression, or MANOVA — to coded content data, enabling researchers to uncover complex patterns across many variables at once.	Factor analysis is a statistical technique for identifying latent (unobserved) dimensions underlying observed variables, developed by Louis Leon Thurstone in the 1930s and formalized by Jöreskog (1969). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) discovers unknown factor structure from data; confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tests hypothesized relationships between observed and latent variables. Essential in psychometrics (test development), organizational research (measuring constructs like leadership style), and biomedicine (identifying disease subtypes), factor analysis reduces dimensionality while revealing conceptual organization in multivariate data.
