This term appears in the 'instruments' sector of a psychology article. It relates to the retention criteria for a list of items in a questionnaire. From my research I have seen 'saturaciones factoriales' as another way of translating 'cargas factoriales' (factor loadings). However, 'cargas factoriales' has already been used as a retention criterion, so I'm assuming 'saturaciones factoriales cruzadas' has been used to mean something different here. At present, I have translated the term as 'conflicting factor loadings with a difference greater than XXX'. Thanks in advance!

Note from asker:
Thanks for your suggestion Eileen. I think 'cross-loadings' was closer to what I needed. It's great to get a few different perspectives though. |

Thanks for your help!
(a) Carga factorial, saturación factorial and peso factorial are all synonymous and all mean factor loading.

(b) Carga/saturación factorial cruzada means (factor) cross-loading, that is, loading on factors other than the primary factor.
