Community survey data on neurotic symptoms and subjective well-being scales were examined with principal components analysis. The two types of scales were found to load on separate, but negatively correlated, factors. Furthermore, some differential correlates of the two types of scale were found, but the differences were not great. It was concluded that neurotic symptom and well-being scales do largely measure different ends of a single continuum, but well-being scales seem to have an extraversion component not shared by neurotic symptom scales. Subjective well-being measures may be useful in epidemiological surveys where it is desirable to discriminate among low symptom scorers.
运用主成分分析法对有关神经症症状和主观幸福感量表的社区调查数据进行了检验。结果发现，这两种类型的量表分别加载在不同但呈负相关的因素上。此外，还发现了这两种类型量表的一些不同相关因素，但差异不大。研究得出结论，神经症症状量表和幸福感量表在很大程度上确实测量的是单一连续体的不同端点，但幸福感量表似乎有一个神经质症状量表所没有的外向性成分。在需要区分低症状得分者的流行病学调查中，主观幸福感测量可能会有用。
