title: [Styles and types of quality of life in the Seville Questionnaire].
abstract: The Sevilla Scale of Quality of Life is composed by two scales: the Scale F or scale of favourable aspects and the Scale D or scale of unfavourable aspects. This work elaborates some conceptual procedures and some operative strategies to interpret in a complex way the quality of life. We build a unique and global punctuation for the CSCV that we denominate PCV, and that it is the result of other partial scores; we also outline the analysis of the dispersion matrix of the PCV like a system to differentiate styles different from quality of life. We use the factor structure of the CSCV to represent each subject in a three-dimensional space by means of two points, the favourable aspect and the unfavourable one; the geometric distance between both points represent another conceptual shade to interpret of the types of quality of life. The necessity is underlined of guaranteeing the utility of these procedures by means of future empiric analysis, with samples of subject so much normal as pathological.
