Education / Pedagogy / Psychology and Psychobiology for Education - an abstract
Spanish term or phrase: aspecto & dimensiones

My query is in the correct translations of 'aspecto' and 'dimensiones' in the following contexts. There are a lot of 'dimension' as well and could, at first glance, be almost interchanegable but don't feel right.

I'm including a few of each in their different contexts and would be very grateful if someone could clarify whether either word would be correct in English (for an abstract) or I'm completely missing the correct word/s!

These two words come up a lot in this paper and yes, both factors & components work much better in many of the instances at hand along with the odd 'dimension'. Many thanks.
