Exploratory Analyses of the Latent Structure of Anxiety among Older Adults.

Lowe, Patricia A.; Reynolds, Cecil R.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v60 n1 p100-16 Feb 2000

Performed exploratory factor analysis of the responses of 458 older adults, aged 60 to 100 years, to the Adult Manifest Anxiety Scale-Elderly Version (based on a scale by J. Taylor, 1953). Found a three-factor structure of anxiety consistent with current theories of anxiety that supports the construct validity of the measure. (SLD)
