The main goal of the study was to determine the constructive validity of Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices by means of item factor analysis. The most important topic within this objective is to determine the test dimensionality, since many authors report on finding several significant primary factors. The study included 2334 children aged 4 to 11. Several types of factor analysis were used in order to obviate the influence of technique on the results. Our data suggested 3 or 4 first order factors. Based on the usual McDonald definition, the primary factors obtained could be considered difficulty factors in the majority of cases. The necessary number of factors on age subsamples, extracted by parallel analysis, was between 3 and 5. Factor structure on age subsamples indicated the youngest ages, 4 and 5, to be essentially different from the older ones. This difference was identified as underdevelopment of the goal management mechanisms.
该研究的主要目标是通过项目因子分析来确定瑞文彩色渐进矩阵的结构效度。在此目标中，最重要的课题是确定测试维度，因为许多作者报告发现了几个显著的主要因素。该研究纳入了2334名4至11岁的儿童。为了消除技术对结果的影响，使用了几种类型的因子分析。我们的数据表明存在3或4个一阶因子。根据常见的麦克唐纳定义，在大多数情况下，所获得的主要因素可被视为难度因子。通过平行分析在年龄子样本上提取的必要因子数量在3至5个之间。年龄子样本的因子结构表明，4岁和5岁的最年幼年龄组与年龄较大的组在本质上有所不同。这种差异被确定为目标管理机制的发育不全。
