The similarities in structure and usage of two widely used adjective checklists, the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Symptom Checklist (SCL), suggested the feasibility of pooling the items from the two scales into a single factor analysis. This procedure was clinically appealing, statistically sound, and provided an efficient method to reduce and refine assessments of psychopathology. Data from 413 Miami Symptomatic Volunteers were used in this factor analysis. Nine factor dimensions were found to meet the dual criteria of statistical salience and clinical meaningfulness. The results demonstrated the factorial stability of the SCL and the POMS and identified the dimensions of psychopathology in which items from the two scales tended to complement each other in factor structure. Some factors were found to be unique to each scale. In addition, it was found that pooling the items from both scales yielded two new factor dimensions that were not previously available from either of the individual scales.
两种广泛使用的形容词检查表，即情绪状态剖面图（POMS）和症状检查表（SCL），在结构和用法上的相似性表明，将两个量表的项目合并进行单因素分析是可行的。这一程序在临床上具有吸引力，在统计学上是合理的，并提供了一种有效方法来减少和完善对精神病理学的评估。来自413名迈阿密有症状志愿者的数据用于此次因素分析。发现九个因素维度符合统计显著性和临床意义的双重标准。结果证明了SCL和POMS的因子稳定性，并确定了两个量表的项目在因子结构中倾向于相互补充的精神病理学维度。发现有些因素是每个量表所独有的。此外，还发现将两个量表的项目合并产生了两个新的因素维度，这是之前任何一个单独量表都没有的。
