Marilena Z. Leana-Tascilar – Cogent Education, 2024
This study aimed to develop a comprehensive tool to assess underachievement in gifted students, incorporating input from parents, teachers, and students themselves. A total of 285 participants, including 95 gifted students, their parents, and teachers, were involved in the study. The results have revealed a four-factor structure for the Gifted…

Kush, Joseph C.; Canivez, Gary L. – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2021
This study utilized confirmatory factor analyses to examine the latent factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Fourth Edition, Italian adaptation (WISC-IV Italian) standardization sample. One through five, oblique first-order factor models and higher-order as well as bifactor models were examined and compared using CFA.…

Fenollar-Cortés, Javier; Watkins, Marley W. – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2019
The construct validity of the Spanish Version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fifth Edition (WISC-V[superscript Spain]) was investigated via confirmatory factor analysis. For all 15 subtests, the higher-order model preferred by Wechsler (2015b) contained five group factors but lacked discriminant validity. A bifactor model with…

Dombrowski, Stefan C.; Canivez, Gary L.; Watkins, Marley W. – Contemporary School Psychology, 2018
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V; Wechsler 2014a) "Technical and Interpretation Manual" (Wechsler 2014b) dedicated only a single page to discussing the 10-subtest WISC-V primary battery across the entire 6 to 16 age range. Users are left to extrapolate the structure of the 10-subtest battery from the…

Kettler, Ryan J. – School Psychology International, 2020
This article is a commentary on McGill et al.'s (2020) article "Use of Translated and Adapted Versions of the WISC-V: Caveat Emptor." McGill et al. use caveat emptor in their title to indicate that the buyer of an assessment must be careful about the product being purchased, presumably because the seller of the assessment is not being…

Petscher, Yaacov; Pfeiffer, Steven I. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2020
The authors evaluated measurement-level, factor-level, item-level, and scale-level revisions to the "Gifted Rating Scales-School Form" (GRS-S). Measurement-level considerations tested the extent to which treating the Likert-type scale rating as categorical or continuous produced different fit across unidimensional, correlated trait, and…

Benson, Nicholas F.; Kranzler, John H. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
This study further examined the Gifted Rating Scales (GRS) at the internal and external stages of test validation by (a) testing structural fidelity as indicated by the number of factors supported as well as the correspondence of the latent factor structure with the scoring model proposed by the authors and (b) examining the external relations of…

Juliano, Jane M.; And Others – Journal of School Psychology, 1988
Compared Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) tests and retest scores for 322 learning disabled children over three years for factor structure and structure stability. Results suggest that WISC-R factor structure was stable over three years. Coefficients of congruence indicated factorial similarity between groups of Black and…

Conger, Anthony J.; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
The WISC-R was investigated by using measures of profile (multivariate) reliability to determine its most reliable dimensions and the precision and similarity of the multivariate structure across age groups. The structure of the WISC-R subscales was stable across age groups. Two strategies for the interpretation of WISC-R profiles are offered.…

McGrew, Kevin S.; Wrightson, Wade – Psychology in the Schools, 1997
Demonstrates how data smoothing procedures--procedures commonly used in the development of continuous test norms--can provide better estimates of the reliability, uniqueness, and general factor characteristics for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, third edition, subtests. Suggests that such procedures are applicable to other test…

Blaha, John; Vance, Hubert – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
Among the findings was that the factor structure of learning disabled children on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised was somewhat more fractionated and complex than for normals, but not as complex as for reading disabled children. (Author/DLS)

Osborne, R. T.; Suddick, D. E. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1972
The mental growth patterns of 204 children were investigated on four different test occasions covering a five-year period, ages six to 11. There is no evidence of intellectual differentiation after age six nor is there a systematic decline in size of WISC subtest intercorrelations with increasing age. (Authors)

Clarizio, Harvey F. – Psychology in the Schools, 1982
Examines whether individual intelligence tests such as the WISC-R are biased against Hispanic school-aged children. Discusses three common but faulty notions of test bias, and advances a psychometric definition of bias. Analyzes evidence regarding external and internal validity. Presents guidelines for intellectual assessment of bilingual…
