Abstract

Abstract. Two meta-analyses of exploratory factor analyses of the General Health Questionnaire short forms, GHQ-28 ( N = 26,848, k = 40) and GHQ-30 ( N = 43,151  k = 25), were conducted to determine the consistent factors found in each test and any common factors across them. Five databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, BASE, Semantic, and Google Scholar) were searched in 2021. Reproduced correlations derived from the original studies’ factor matrices and aggregated across studies were factor analyzed for the meta-analyses. For the GHQ-28, the standard four subscales of somatic, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depression were clearly identified and strongly supported by a four-factor structure. For the GHQ-30, a four-factor solution identified factors of anxiety, depression, social dysfunction, and social satisfaction, the first three factors shared a number of items with the same scales found in the GHQ-28. These shared factors appear similar across tests and should help bridge research using the GHQ-30 and the GHQ-28. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the four-factor models in both tests. The four standard subscales of GHQ-28 were strongly supported and can be recommended. The three similar factors in the GHQ-30, as well as the social satisfaction factor, appear reasonable to use.

一般健康问卷- GHQ-28和GHQ-30简表因子分析的元分析
摘要对GHQ-28 (N = 26,848, k = 40)和GHQ-30 (N = 43,151, k = 25)的探索性因子分析进行了两项荟萃分析,以确定每个测试中发现的一致性因素以及它们之间的共同因素。五个数据库(PsycINFO、PubMed、BASE、Semantic和谷歌Scholar)在2021年被检索。从原始研究的因素矩阵中得出的再现相关性和跨研究汇总的相关性在meta分析中进行了因素分析。在GHQ-28中,躯体、焦虑、社交功能障碍和抑郁四个标准分量表被清晰地识别出来,并得到四因素结构的有力支持。对于GHQ-30,一个四因素解决方案确定了焦虑,抑郁,社交功能障碍和社交满意度的因素,前三个因素与GHQ-28中发现的相同量表共享许多项目。这些共同的因素在测试中似乎相似,应该有助于使用GHQ-30和GHQ-28进行研究。验证性因子分析支持两项测试的四因素模型。GHQ-28的四个标准分量表得到了强有力的支持和推荐。GHQ-30中的三个相似因子,以及社会满意度因子,似乎是合理的。

期刊介绍: The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
