This study used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the factor structure for the 10 core WISC-IV subtests in a group of children (N = 812) with ADHD.
The study examined oblique four- and five-factor models, higher order models with one general secondary factor and four and five primary factors, and a bifactor model with a general factor and four specific factors.
The findings supported all models tested, with the bifactor model being the optimum model. For this model, only the general factor had high explained common variance and omega hierarchical value, and it predicted reading and arithmetic abilities.
The findings favor the use of the FSIQ scores of the WISC-IV, but not the subscale index scores.
本研究采用验证性因素分析来检验一组患有注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的儿童(N = 812)中韦氏儿童智力量表第四版(WISC-IV)10个核心子测验的因素结构。
该研究检验了斜交四因素和五因素模型、具有一个一般二级因素以及四个和五个主要因素的高阶模型,以及具有一个一般因素和四个特定因素的双因素模型。
研究结果支持所有测试模型,双因素模型为最优模型。对于该模型,只有一般因素具有较高的解释共同方差和欧米伽层级值,并且它能够预测阅读和算术能力。
研究结果支持使用WISC-IV的全量表智商(FSIQ)分数,而非分量表指数分数。
