An individual's responses to Goldberg's 30-item General Health Questionnaire are usually represented as a single score which provides a measure of the number of psychiatric symptoms reported. No account is taken of the nature of the symptoms. Factor analyses of the GHQ-30 were undertaken in ten randomly selected samples of 600 adults each, and also on 12 age-sex groupings covering the age range 18-98. The results indicate an impressive degree of consistency of the factor structure, and the identification of five distinct factors corresponding to anxiety, feelings of incompetence, depression, difficulty in coping, and social dysfunction.
个人对戈德堡30项一般健康问卷的回答通常用一个单一分数来表示,该分数衡量所报告的精神症状数量。未考虑症状的性质。对戈德堡30项问卷(GHQ - 30)进行了因子分析,样本为10个随机抽取的每组600名成年人的样本,还对涵盖18 - 98岁年龄范围的12个年龄 - 性别分组进行了分析。结果表明因子结构具有令人印象深刻的一致性程度,并且识别出了五个不同的因子,分别对应焦虑、无能感、抑郁、应对困难和社会功能障碍。
