Factor Structure of the WISC-R across Ethnic Groups: An Investigation of Construct Validity.

Taylor, Ronald L.; And Others

Diagnostique, v11 n1 p9-13 Fall 1985

Construct validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised using 189 Black, 184 Hispanic, and 187 White 6- to 11-year-olds was investigated. A two-factor solution yielded similar loadings corresponding to verbal comprehension and perceptual organization for all three groups. Three-factor solutions yielded similar loadings for Hispanic and White samples but different loadings for Blacks. (Author/CB)
