摘要:
This study investigates the correlation between 31 social life tests within and across groupings by title, by concept, and by factor weights; also the principal dimensions of the 107 items appearing in those tests. Unadjusted test correlations tend to be larger within groupings than across them; however, correlations adjusted for overlapping items show little or no difference within and between groupings. Item correlations contain eight significant (as defined) dimensions; corresponding factor scores were interpreted to be measures of pessimism, depression, cynicism, anxiety, fatalism, job morale, life satisfaction, and personal morale. The findings on the whole suggest that the number of social life attitude tests in use in sociology is excessive and that a smaller number would suffice.
