No Evidence for Ethnic and Racial Bias in the Tryout Edition of the Merrill-Palmer Scale—Revised
This research examined a revised version of the Merrill-Palmer Scale, a test of childhood development, to assess the cultural validity of items, i.e., Differential Item Functioning. Archival data were used to determine the Differential Item Functioning of items for 245 African-American, Euro-American, and Hispanic children, ages 3-6 years. Subjects were gathered from all four regions of the United States. Potential bias was examined through the u…

Nonverbal Intellectual Assessment of Hispanic and Speech-Impaired Adolescents
A comprehensive new nonverbal cognitive battery (Leiter-R) was given to examine the nonverbal cognitive performance of adolescents, ages 11 to 21 from majority and nonmajority (Hispanic) ethnic backgrounds. A total of 258 Euro-American (non-Hispanic) and 62 Hispanic adolescents composed the ethnic-contrast samples (81% Euro-American vs 19% Hispanic). Also, the study used the Leiter-R to contrast the cognitive performance of speech-impaired adoles…
Measuring the Dimensions of Effective Fathering
Data were collected on a general sample of 1,650 fathers and a group of 42 effective fathers. Items that differentiated between the general sample and the effective-fathers group were subjected to factor analysis and other psychometric studies resulting in the development of seven internally consistent scales measuring dimensions such as commitment, consistency, and active listening. Significant differences between the general and effective-fathe…
Construct Validity of the Figural, Symbolic, and Semantic Dimensions of the Structure-of-Intellect Learning Abilities Tests
The Structure of Intellect Learning Abilities (SOI-LA) tests are widely used in gifted screening and the diagnosis of learning difficulties. Although the Figural, Symbolic, and Semantic dimensions of the tests have been employed as a prescriptive tool for matching students to appropriate methods of reading instruction, the factorial validity of these dimensions has not been widely investigated. Using a normative sample of 2nd-grade pupils (N =364…

A Comparison of Objective-Based and Modified-Bormuth Item Writing Techniques
Two techniques for writing achievement test items to accompany instructional materials were contrasted: (a) writing items from statements of instructional objectives, and (b) writing items from semi-automated rules for transforming instructional statements (adapted from Bormuth). Items of each type were written by two experienced item writers. Students were given tests employing these items before and after reading a programmed booklet. One item …
