Note on test-retest characteristics of the General Health Questionnaire
Abstract:
The state-type 60-item General Health Questionnaire was administered on two occasions, with intervening periods of 11-12 mo. and 6-7 mo., to 186 male school-leavers and 101 men facing redundancy, respectively. Significant test-retest correlations suggested that the questionnaire is to some considerable extent measuring an underlying tendency for normal subjects to report a general, minor, nonpsychotic psychiatric morbidity, as opposed to purely transitory fluctuations in mental well being.
