Resumo

Summary During a French study on anxiety disorders, 708 outpatients seen in general psychiatric settings answered the French version of the SCL-90 R (Symptom Check-List 90-Revised) as a self-report check-list of complaints. A principal component analysis followed by screenplot examination and Varimax rotation yielded an 11-factor solution explaining 47.5% of total variance. These orthogonal factors each have at least 3 items whose loadings are above 0.4 and are all clinically significant. After replication on split-half samples, the 3 main factors (Depression, Somatization, Panic-Agoraphobia) proved to be stable. These results are compared to those from other international studies.
