Hill, Benjamin D.; Musso, Mandi; Jones, Glenn N.; Pella, Russell D.; Gouvier, Wm. Drew – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2013
A psychometric evaluation on the measurement of self-report anxiety and depression using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Form-Y (STAI-Y), and the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) was performed using a sample of 534 generally young adults seeking psychoeducational evaluation at a university-based clinic.…

The WAIS-R Number-of-Factors Quandary: A Cluster Analytic Approach to Construct Validation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fraboni, Maryann; Saltstone, Robert – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
Six hierarchical clustering methods were applied to subtest intercorrelations for each of the nine age groups in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) standardization sample. Results point to the possibility of three simultaneously plausible solutions as they support each of the traditional factor structures in varying degrees.…

A Confirmatory Analysis of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition: Is the Verbal/Performance Discrepancy Justified?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Taub, Gordon E. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2001
Investigated the construct validity of the implied and theoretical structures of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III). Results using the standardization sample of 2,450 adults and adolescents indicate that the WAIS-III provides an excellent measure of the four-factor model and a general factor, but they do not support the construct…

A Multiple-Methods Approach to the Investigation of WAIS-R Constructs Employing Cluster Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fraboni, Maryann; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
Seven hierarchical clustering methods were applied to the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) scores of 121 medical rehabilitation clients to investigate the possibility of method-dependent results and determine the stability of the clusters. This multiple-methods cluster analysis suggests that the underlying constructs of the…

Construct Validity of WAIS-R Factors: Neuropsychological Test Correlates in Adults Referred for Evaluation of Possible Head Injury.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sherman, Elisabeth M. S.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1995
A 3-factor solution of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) in 260 adults with suspected head injury suggested relatively good construct validity for the factors, based on correlations with neuropsychological tests. Findings are discussed in terms of the multidimensional nature of neuropsychological tests and WAIS-R factors.…

Mayo's Older Americans Normative Studies (MOANS): Factor Structure of a Core Battery.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Glenn E.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
Using the Mayo Older Americans Normative Studies (MOANS) group (526 55-to 97-year-old adults), factor models were examined for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R); the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS); and a core battery of the WAIS-R, the WMS, and the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test.
