Validity of WISC-R Factor Scores in Predicting Achievement and Attention for Four Sociocultural Groups.

Reschly, Daniel J.; Reschly, Jane E.

Journal of School Psychology, v17 n4 p355-60 Win 1979

The predictive validity of WISC-R factor scores was examined with samples from the four sociocultural groups of Anglo, Black, Chicano, and native American Papago. The full scale IQ and verbal comprehension (VC) factor scores were significantly better predictors of achievement as measured by teacher ratings and the Metropolitan Achievement Test. (Author)
