Issues relating to the design of scales and their psychometric properties are discussed in the context of constructing a standard measure of core climacteric symptoms. Seven factor analytic studies of climacteric symptoms are examined to determine whether or not there is sufficient consensus across studies to permit agreement on the symptom content and the structure of such a scale. It is argued that these factor analytic studies do indeed contain sufficient consensus on the basis of which a standard climacteric scale can be constructed. Such a scale is described.
在构建核心更年期症状的标准测量方法的背景下，讨论了与量表设计及其心理测量特性相关的问题。对七项更年期症状的因素分析研究进行了考察，以确定各项研究之间是否存在足够的共识，从而就此类量表的症状内容和结构达成一致。有人认为，这些因素分析研究确实包含了足够的共识，在此基础上可以构建一个标准的更年期量表。本文描述了这样一个量表。
