1. These data were collected from studies supported by three NIMH-PRB research grants from the National Institute of Mental Health to the University of Pennsylvania (MH 04731; MH 08968) and to the Johns Hopkins University (MH 04732). The computations were done by the Biometric Laboratory of the of the George Washington University. We wish to express our appreciation to Lee C. Park, M.D., Department of Psychiatry of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, and Seymour Fisher, Ph.D., now at Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, who participated in these studies.

N2 - In an attempt to replicate the factor structure of symptom distress re- ported by Mattsson et al. in their study of 404 anxious neurotic outpatients, the same 68-item pretreatment self-report Symptom Check List was administered to an independent but clinically similar sample of 1,116 patients. Using an identical factor-analytic procedure, five useful factors were extracted: Neurotic Feelings, Somatization, Performance Difficulty, Fear-Anxiety, and Depression. Four of these factors were almost identical to those reported by Mattsson e t al. while the fifth factor, Depression, seemed to represent a composite of the two small Depression factors (Anxious and Somatic) found in the earlier study. This minor discrepancy was discussed and the future research potential of these factors was indicated.
