The extent to which anomia, self-esteem, and life satisfaction are conceptually distinct was studied by using factor analysis of the items from Srole's anomia scale, Rosenberg's scale of self-esteem, and the LSI-Z. The data came from interviews held with 1,332 older men living in nonmetropolitan areas of Iowa. The analysis demonstrated that, while the concepts of anomia and self-esteem are distinct, the domain of life satisfaction overlaps those of anomia and self-esteem. The representation of the five components of life satisfaction by the items of the LSI-Z is questioned, and caution in using the six-items version of Rosenberg's measure of self-esteem with older adults is suggested.
通过对斯罗尔失范量表、罗森伯格自尊量表和生活满意度指数（LSI-Z）中的项目进行因子分析，研究了失范、自尊和生活满意度在概念上的不同程度。数据来自对居住在爱荷华州非都市地区的1332名老年男性的访谈。分析表明，虽然失范和自尊的概念是不同的，但生活满意度的领域与失范和自尊的领域存在重叠。对LSI-Z项目对生活满意度五个组成部分的代表性提出了质疑，并建议在对老年人使用罗森伯格自尊量表的六项版本时要谨慎。
