MARIN RUEDA, Fabián Javier; ANGELI DOS SANTOS, Acácia Aparecida e PORTO NORONHA, Ana Paula. Construct Validity of the WISC-IV among a Brazilian Sample. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.4, pp.1-10. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-4.evcm.
This study analyzed the internal structure of the Brazilian version of the WISC-IV by comparing the composed scoring model with two other models: one based on a general factor of intelligence and another based on the CHC theory. The participants included 795 children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 16 hailing from different regions of Brazil. The results indicated that the most suitable model was the one proposed in the manual. The model of the CHC theory also presented a good fit, but with values that was inferior to those of the original proposal. Moreover, the model of the general factor was rejected because the goodness-of-fit indices were not satisfactory.
