Examined the factor structure of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) in samples of psychiatric outpatients (N = 165) and adult smokers (N = 298). Principal component analyses (oblique rotation) yielded seven interpretable components in both cases, which accounted for 66% and 64% of the total variance, respectively. Coefficients of congruence indicated that the two component structures were quite similar. Three of the six POMS scales (Anger-Hostility, Vigor-Activity, Fatigue-Inertia) were replicated successfully in both samples. The remaining three scales were factorally complex and tended to merge, partially attributable to social desirability, to high scale intercorrelations, and to the inherent confluence of psychopathology. The POMS appears to be an internally consistent, multidimensional instrument with a relatively stable factor structure. Caution is recommended in the separate scoring and interpretation of several POMS scales.
在精神科门诊患者样本（N = 165）和成年吸烟者样本（N = 298）中检验了情绪状态剖面图（POMS）的因子结构。主成分分析（斜交旋转）在两种情况下均产生了七个可解释的成分，分别占总方差的66%和64%。一致性系数表明两种成分结构非常相似。六个POMS量表中的三个（愤怒-敌意、活力-活动、疲劳-惰性）在两个样本中均成功复现。其余三个量表在因子分析上较为复杂且倾向于合并，部分归因于社会期望、量表间的高相关性以及精神病理学的内在融合。POMS似乎是一种内部一致的多维度工具，具有相对稳定的因子结构。建议在对几个POMS量表进行单独评分和解释时谨慎行事。
