The Structure of the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale: A Reinterpretation.

Liang, Jersey; Bollen, Kenneth A.

Journal of Gerontology, v38 n2 p181-89 Mar 1983

Examines the structure of the Philadelphia Geriatric Center (PGC) Morale Scale using a multiple indicator structural equation model. Based on the 1968 National Senior Citizens Survey, the model is consistently replicated across four subsamples. The claim that the PGC Morale Scale is multidimensional is only appropriate for first-order factors. (Author/JAC)
