AB - The GHQ12 has become a popular screeninginstrument used by both clinicians and researchers. To date there have been anumber of studies investigating the factor structure of the GHQ12. Most haveidentified a factorial structure to the instrument but there has been littleconsistency in the factors identified. One reason for this may be thatdifferent investigators are using different scoring methods and this couldimpact the structure identified. This study used structured equation modeling(LISREL 8.7) to carry out a confirmatory factor analysis, with alarge sample of 8,732 university staff, on four 3-factor and one unitarymodel solutions using the three most common scoring methods (Classical,Corrected, and Likert). It was found that the method of scoringsubstantially affects model estimation and suggestions were made as to the bestscoring method for future use.
