In this investigation the distribution of responses on an anomia index (Srole's anomia scale) was examined for a national probability sample of the elderly. Step-wise multiple regression procedures were used to determine the relative importance of the independent variables in explaining the variation of anomia. Of the zero-order correlations, the "sociological" variables, e.g., education, work status, occupational prestige, and yearly income, were the strongest correlates of anomia. The social psychological variables, viz., various attitudinal and perceptual phenomena, also exhibited reasonably strong correlations. Those variables labeled "activity/organizational," e.g., various indices of social engagement, revealed the lowest correlations. In step-wise regression analysis six statistically significant explanatory variables were, in descending order: (1) a judgement of one's relative financial standing, (2) city size, (3) race, (4) work status, (5) education, and (6) occupational prestige.
在这项调查中，对全国老年概率样本的失名症指数（斯罗尔失名症量表）的反应分布进行了检查。采用逐步多元回归程序来确定自变量在解释失名症变化方面的相对重要性。在零阶相关中，“社会学”变量，如教育程度、工作状态、职业声望和年收入，是与失名症相关性最强的因素。社会心理变量，即各种态度和感知现象，也表现出相当强的相关性。那些被标记为“活动/组织”的变量，如社会参与的各种指标，显示出最低的相关性。在逐步回归分析中，六个具有统计学意义的解释变量按降序排列为：(1) 对个人相对经济状况的判断，(2) 城市规模，(3) 种族，(4) 工作状态，(5) 教育程度，以及(6) 职业声望。
