SUMMARY
The objective of this study is to present a basic tutorial on the main statistical techniques used for analyses of data in researches on applied social sciences. The selected techniques were, respectively, Exploratory Factorial Analysis (EFA), Correlation and Linear Regression Analyses. For the development of the tutorial, databases of two studies performed in Brazil were used, which permitted the application of the selected techniques in an illustrative and didactical manner. Based on the theoretical foundations present in literature, the main procedures to be adopted are presented as well as the assumptions to be observed in each of the described techniques. As a contribution to students, researchers, reviewers and other interested parties, the study presents a step-by-step permitting a basic understanding of the main multivariate techniques used in quantitative analyses.
