Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bowden, Stephen C.; Saklofske, Donald H.; Weiss, Lawrence G. – Assessment, 2011
Examination of measurement invariance provides a powerful method to evaluate the hypothesis that the same set of psychological constructs underlies a set of test scores in different populations. If measurement invariance is observed, then the same psychological meaning can be ascribed to scores in both populations. In this study, the measurement…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kessels, Roy P. C.; van den Berg, Esther; Ruis, Carla; Brands, Augustina M. A. – Assessment, 2008
The Corsi Block-Tapping Task measures visuospatial short-term and working memory, but a standardized backward condition is lacking. The authors present a standardized backward procedure that was examined in 246 healthy older adults (ages 50 to 92), comparing the results with the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Third…

Measurement Invariance of the Appearance Schemas Inventory-Revised and the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory across Age and Gender
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Rusticus, Shayna A.; Hubley, Anita M.; Zumbo, Bruno D. – Assessment, 2008
The majority of body image measures have largely been developed with younger female samples. Before these measures can be applied to men, and to middle-aged and older women, and used to make gender and age comparisons, they must exhibit adequate cross-group measurement invariance. This study examined the age and gender cross-group measurement…

Comparative Test-Retest Stability of Four WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in Persons 75 to 87 Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ryan, Joseph J.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
The retest stability of four Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) short forms (Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer; Reynolds, Wilson and Clark; Silverstein; Ward) was investigated with 61 subjects aged 75 to 87 years. Short form stability in each instance was comparable to that of the standard WAIS-R. (SLD)
