ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) allows the researcher to control for the effects of one or more continuous variables, referred to as covariates, by adjusting the means of the dependent variable based on the values of the covariate(s). This helps to minimize the impact of initial differences between groups on the dependent variable and improve the accuracy and consistency of group comparisons. EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) and linear regression are not appropriate for controlling for initial differences between groups, while multiple regression can be used but is generally less efficient and effective for this specific purpose.
