Factor invariance between genders of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ¬タモ Fourth edition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to test measurement invariance of the WISC-IV factorial structure between genders. Both 10 and 15 subtest sets were tested on a nationally-representative sample of 2200 children (males N = 1100; females N = 1100). Results from multisample analyses supported partial measurement invariance. Except for a few subtle discrepancies involving correlated error terms, the hypothesized model described the data for both sexes. Overall factor patterns, loadings, unique variances, and factor covariances of the WISC-IV generally did not vary with gender. 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

OBJECTIVE Recent evidence suggests that the factor structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) is better explained by a five-factor model rather than the four-factor model in the standardization sample. The current study examined the WISC-IV's factor structure in a sample of children with ADHD. METHOD Participants included 314 children and adolescents wh...
