在以人口普查地区为分析单位对包括药物滥用在内的12个不同的社会病理指数之间的相互关系进行的研究中，观察到所有指数之间存在中等到高度的相互关系。随后的成分类型因子分析显示，只有一个特征值大于1，这表明，几个指数之间的相互关系可能最简明地用一个基本概念--广义社会病理学--来解释。这一结构的准确因素分数是为每个区域计算的，这些分数可以被视为对当前社会动荡程度的估计。
In a study of the interrelationships among 12 separate indices of social pathology, including drug abuse, in which census tracts were the units of analysis, moderate to high intercorrelations among all indices were observed. A subsequent components-types factor analysis revealed only a single eigenvalue greater than unity, suggesting that the interrelationships among the several indices may be most parsimoniously explained in terms of a single underlying construct-generalized social pathology. Exact factor scores on this construct were computed for each tract, and those may be viewed as estimates of the degree of social upheaval present.
