A study was conducted using data obtained from the first stage of a community survey in Spain, in which the 60-item version of the GHQ was administered to 1224 adults. Three hypotheses concerning respondents aged under 55 years were tested. The first was that in the context of a principal-components analysis, a greater proportion of the explained variance would be accounted for by the first (general) factor in women than in men. This was supported. The second hypothesis was that the intercorrelations between the GHQ-28 subscales would be greater for women than for men. This was refuted. The third hypothesis was that the differentiation between anxiety and depression would be greater in men than in women. This was supported. The differences investigated were found not to apply among respondents aged 55 years and over.
一项研究利用了从西班牙社区调查第一阶段获得的数据,该调查中,对1224名成年人施测了60题版本的一般健康问卷(GHQ)。对关于55岁以下受访者的三个假设进行了检验。第一个假设是,在主成分分析的背景下,女性中由第一个(一般)因素解释的方差比例将高于男性。这一假设得到了支持。第二个假设是,GHQ - 28分量表之间的相互关联在女性中比在男性中更强。这一假设被推翻。第三个假设是,男性中焦虑和抑郁的区分比女性中更明显。这一假设得到了支持。所研究的差异在55岁及以上的受访者中未被发现。
