Pattern Matrix and Structure Matrix Definition in SPSS FACTOR output

Troubleshooting


Problem

I am using the SPSS FACTOR procedure and have requested direct oblimin or promax rotation. In the output for a rotated solution, I see both a pattern matrix and a structure matrix. What is the difference between these two matrices? I thought that the pattern matrix held the usual factor loadings. If so, then what is the structure matrix?
