TLDR
In this paper, a multidimensional concept of self-perceived quality of life (QOL) in young adults is used to identify similarities and differences in the factor structures of men and women which Liang and Bollan suggest may be important.Abstract:
This study continues the exploration of self-perceived quality of life (QOL) begun by Carter (1984) and Norris and Carter (1984). It adopts the multidimensional concept of QOL in young adults used by these authors and by Cutler (1979), Herzog and Rodgers (1981), and Carp and Carp (1983). It attempts to identify similarities and differences in the factor structures of men and women which Liang and Bollan (1983) suggest may be important. Similarities may allow development of common quality of life measures for men and women and have importance in both developmental and social theory. Differences could invalidate both sex and age comparisons in adult development by casting doubt on the use of a common metric and samples which vary in gender ratios at differentread more

The Structure of the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale: A Reinterpretation.
Jersey Liang,Kenneth A. Bollen +1 more
TL;DR: A multiple indicator structural equation model including three first-order factors and one second-order factor is proposed to account for the dimensionality of the PGC Morale Scale and is consistently supported and replicated across four randomly divided subsamples.

Using multivariate analysis on multielemental data.
TL;DR: Though it is not an essential part of the evaluation process, the importance of visualization of multiparameter data has been stressed most strongly, because in this way the area for further intensive statistical analysis can be clearly demarcated.
