在个人生活质量研究领域，关于生活质量结构的因素结构有相当大的争论，主要集中在生活质量因素和领域的数量和组成，以及它的等级性质。本研究的主要目的是通过验证性因素分析对最近科学文献中提出的五个模型进行检验：第一，一维模型；第二，Schalock和Verdugo(2002)提出的由八个相互关联的领域组成的生活质量模型；第三，由这八个一阶因素和一个二阶因素组成的模型；第四和五个是由八个一阶因素和三个二阶因素组成的模型，这些模型在其他研究中被命名为Salamanca模型和Schalock模型。数据来自西班牙加泰罗尼亚的3.029名社会服务受助者，他们完成了客观的生活质量问卷--GENCAT量表。实验证明了八个相互关联的一阶域的最佳拟合度。文中还讨论了对未来研究的启示。
There is considerable debate in the area of individual quality of life research regarding the factor structure of the QOL construct that is focused on the number and composition of QOL factors and domains, and its hierarchical nature. The main goal of this study involve testing by means of confirmatory factor analyses five models that have been pointed out by recent scientific literature: firstly, an unidimensional model; secondly, a QOL model that consisted of eight inter-correlated domains proposed by Schalock and Verdugo (2002); thirdly, a model composed of these eight 1st-order factors and one 2nd- order factor; the forth and five are model with the eight 1st-order factors and three 2nd-order factor that has been denominated in other studies 'Salamanca model' and 'Schalock model'. Data were collected from 3.029 social service recipients from Catalonia (Spain) who completed the GENCAT Scale, an objective QOL questionnaire. The best fit of the eight inter-correlated and 1st order domains was empirically demonstrated. Implications for future research are also discussed.
