这项分析对澳大利亚年轻人的大样本的12个项目的GHQ的因素结构进行了重新检验。结果表明，斜向因子旋转更接近于结构简单的标准，并允许使用因子得分来识别和测量GHQ的单独成分。当将这些单独因素的表现与综合Likert评分进行比较时，发现它们在横截面分析和纵向分析中对外部变量的响应并不一致。这些结果表明，使用GHQ的多维特性以及单一的严重程度评分可以获得优势。这产生的额外信息可以为样本内和样本之间的精神损害的性质提供新的见解。
This analysis re-examines the factor structure of the 12-item GHQ for a large Australian sample of young people. It shows that oblique factor rotation better approaches the criterion of simple structure, and allows separate components of the GHQ to be identified and measured using factor scores. When the performance of these separate factors is compared with composite Likert scores, it is found that they do not behave uniformly in response to outside variables, both in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. These results suggest that there are advantages to be gained by using the multidimensional properties of the GHQ as well as a single severity score. The additional information this yields can provide new insights into the nature of psychiatric impairment within and between samples.
