First of all, thanks for the answers!

The scale that I'm is using is a hedonic/utilitarian attitude scale, there are about 20 items respondents have to rate on a 7 point Likert scale.

I'm not expecting that everything loads the same, but I would expect that an item that measures the hedonic dimension in the 'before-question', would also do so in 'the after-question' and not that it starts loading on the utilitarian dimension...
Or should I just delete the item in that case in the 'after-question' ?

(it is a principal component factor analysis)
