The Factorial Structure of the Personal Health Survey in Normals and Schizophrenics

Thorne, Frederick C.; Pishkin, Vladimir

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 34, 2, 276-82, Apr 78

Examines the Personal Health Survey methodology and suggests that in studying the factorial composition of physical and mental health complaints in limited populations, the data provides normative information "only" for the samples tested on one occasion. States further that it would require large-scale normative studies to make any definitive statements about public physical and mental health. (Author/RK)
