Nebenladung

Im weiteren Verlauf wurden jeweils negative Effekte ausgewählt, die hohe Faktorladungen aufwiesen (Faktorladungen >0,5; Nebenladung 16%).


Here, I'm clueless. Any help would be appreciated.

I see Thanks!

Same book, P 200, last item in Table 19.

Aha! I didn't find your reference with brackets (the link goes to a different book), but this one has it, for the Kudoz record:

"Der letztextrahierte Faktor wird nur durch niedrige Nebenladungen
(Kreuzladungen) bestimmt und kann daher vernachlässigt werden."
DLyons Nov 13, 2014:
@Susan Fremdladung is probably more like loading onto non-hypothesized variables or maybe latent variables.

Kreuzladung is I think the correct technical term for Nebenladung - note one of my refs puts it in brackets.

Kreuzladung / Fremdladung I wrestled with this once before, for Fremdladung:

I wish I knew more about statistics!

CROSSLOADINGS See notes to answer. I've found a German translation of Costello AB, Osborne JW (2005) Best practices in exploratory factor analysis. Pract Assess Res Eval. 10(7) which uses Nebenladung

loadings on the auxiliary factors

Ideally one would end up with a diagonal matrix and the factors would be orthogonal. In practice that won't happen so loadings will be on several factor - a main one that carries most of the loading and auxiliary one that carry the rest. What I'm not sure of is whether or not "auxiliary" here includes factors that haven't been added to the model.
Dabei kann man die Faktorladungen interpretieren als Korrelationen der
Ausgangsvariablen mit den „Faktoren“. Die Rotation sorgt dafür, dass
diese Faktorladungen einem möglichst eindeutigen Muster folgen, nämlich der sog. „Einfachstruktur“, die fordert, dass jede Ausgangsvariable nur auf einen Faktor hoch und auf die übrigen niedrig „lädt“. Im Beispiel ist dieses Kriterium nur recht unzureichend erfüllt: Die meisten Variablen weisen auch nach der Rotation noch recht hohe „Nebenladungen“ auf dem jeweils anderen Faktor auf.

Items, die die postulierte Einfachstruktur verletzen, d.h. bedeutsame Nebenladungen auf anderen als den ihnen zugeordneten Faktoren zeigen, werden dabei aus den späteren Analysen ausgeschlossen.

(Costello and Osborne 2005) indicate that if the following problems emerge in the data, a larger sample can help determine whether or not the factor
structure and individual items are valid:
1) Item communalities are 0.8 or greater which is known as a “high” ...
be less than 0.40.
2) (Tabachnick and Fidell 2001) mentioned that instrument items should load at 0.32, which equates to approximately 10% overlapping variance with the
other items in that factor. A “crossloading” item is an item that loads at 0.32 or higher on two or more factors. If there are several crossloaders, the items may be poorly written or the a priori factor structure could be flawed (Costello and Osborne 2005). While other researchers (Comery and Lee 1992; Laura J. Burton and Stephanie M. Mazerolle 2011) emphasized 0.50 or higher as a good rule of thumb. For this in German see http://books.google.ie/books?id=-mApBAAAQBAJ
for the minimum loading of an item with no cross loadings.
