A psychological construct, such as personality, is an abstraction that is not directly seen but inferred through observed regularities in cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses in various settings. Two assumptions give meaning to the idea of construct validity. First, constructs represent real phenomena that exist apart from the potential…

Peer reviewedCanivez, Gary L.; Rains, Jaime D. – Psychology in the Schools, 2002
Presents construct validity of the Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents (ASCA) and the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales (PKBS). Convergent evidence of construct validity was observed for the PKBS Externalizing Problems scale and the ASCA Overactivity syndrome. Divergent evidence of construct validity was provided for the PKBS…

Peer reviewedLassiter, Kerry S.; Matthews, T. Darin; Bell, Nancy L.; Maher, Carrie M. – Psychology in the Schools, 2002
Ninety-four college students were administered the General Ability Measure for Adults (GAMA) and Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT). GAMA IQs were significantly and moderately correlated with KAIT Fluid, Crystallized and Composite IQs, supporting the convergent validity of this instrument. Although significant correlations…

Peer reviewedWorrell, Frank C.; Vandiver, Beverly J.; Watkins, Marley W. – Psychology in the Schools, 2001
Examines the factor structure of the Learning Behavior Scale (LBS) in a sample of 257 elementary school students. Results indicate that the internal consistency of the total LBS scores were high enough for individual decision making, whereas the reliability estimates of scores on the Attention/Persistence and Strategy/Flexibility subscales were…

Peer reviewedWatkins, Marley W.; Canivez, Gary L. – Psychology in the Schools, 2001
Analyzes the longitudinal factor structure of the WISC-III for both configural and metric invariance with a group of 177 students with disabilities. Concludes that the WISC-III measures the same constructs with equal fidelity across time which allows unequivocal interpretation of score differences as reflecting changes in underlying latent…

Eaves, Ronald C.; Williams, Thomas O., Jr. – Psychology in the Schools, 2006
The reliability and construct validity of ratings for the Autism Behavior Checklist were examined with a sample of 198 children diagnosed with autistic disorder and conditions often confused with autism. Alpha coefficients for the five scales of the ABC as well as the Total Score were reported and the factor structure of the ABC was examined…

Martin, Andrew J.; Marsh, Herbert W. – Psychology in the Schools, 2006
This study examines educational and psychological correlates of academic resilience using within-network and between-network validity approaches. Based on a sample of 402 Australian high-school students, a newly developed unidimensional academic resilience construct found within-network validity by way of sound item and factor properties. In terms…

Peer reviewedSmith, Teresa; Smith, Billy L.; Eichler, Joan B.; Pollard, Amy Gilbert – Psychology in the Schools, 2002
Investigates construct, predictive, and differential validity for the Comprehensive Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test (CREVT). Adequate construct validity for the CREVT was documented, using the Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children-III as a criterion. Also, the CREVT effectively differentiated between students with disabilities. These…

Peer reviewedPryor, Colin W.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1989
Students (N=738) from grades one-five who exhibited behavior problems were assessed for behavioral disturbance using the Teacher's Report Form of the Child Behavior Checklist. Data were analyzed to assess the form's internal consistency, accuracy in discriminating disturbed and nondisturbed students, and validity in terms of grade repetition and…

Peer reviewedReed, Mellissa Testerman; McCallum, R. Steve – Psychology in the Schools, 1995
Data from 104 school children were analyzed to determine the psychometric and conceptual soundness of the Universal Nonverbal Intelligence Test (UNIT), devised for children with limited English language proficiency. Examines test validity through construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and exploratory factor analysis in comparison with…

Merrell, Kenneth W.; Blade, Richard L.; Lund, Jacqueline; Kempf, Kari K. G. – Psychology in the Schools, 2003
This brief report details a study of the construct validity of the Internalizing Symptoms Scale for Children (ISSC) in comparison with the Child Self-Report Form of the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC). Using self-reports of 121 students ages 8-12 from general education classes, who were administered both measures, correlational…

Peer reviewedGomez-Benito, J.; Forns-Santacana, M. – Psychology in the Schools, 1996
Examines the construct validity of a scale for 7-year-old children and analyzes the degree of factorial similarity between this analysis and another study performed on 4-year-old children. Results indicate that the cognitive abilities measured by the scale become more general with age and the level of schooling. (RJM)

Williams, Thomas O., Jr.; Eaves, Ronald C. – Psychology in the Schools, 2005
The Pervasive Developmental Disorders Rating Scale (PDDRS; Eaves, 2003) is a rating scale that is used in the screening process for pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). The PDDRS contains three scales: Arousal, Affect, and Cognition. In this study, the construct validity of the PDDRS was examined with teacher ratings from a sample of 168…
