The characteristics of the KeyMath Diagnostic Arithmetic Test and the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test were examined and compared among samples of learning disabled and non-learning disabled boys. The Woodcock was found to be quite similar for both the learning disabled and the non-learning disabled samples with high reliability and a unidimensional factor structure. The KeyMath also was quite similar for the two samples. It was found to have very high reliability, although the assumption of a unidimensional math achievement was found to be less defensible for the learning disabled sample.

Sociocultural Attitudes

Our aim was to evaluate the factor structure and measure the invariance according to gender of a Lithuanian version of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 with a sample of 825 Lithuanian adolescent boys and girls. As a result of exploratory factor analysis we derived 4 factors corresponding to each of the 4 subscales of the original questionnaire, with 2 items (19 and 28) dropped. The Cronbach's alpha of each subscale ranged between .83 and .94. The structural model in the total sample of boys and girls fitted the data well as the majority of indices of fit were acceptable. Invariance across genders was not strong. The results supported the use of the questionnaire with Lithuanian adolescents, but, using the version we used in this study, there are limited possibilities to compare the results according to gender.

Psychometric Investigation

Abstract: Zuckerman postulated a biopsychological multilevel theory of Sensation Seeking, which is part of a more complex multi-trait theory, the Alternative Five. The Sensation Seeking Scale Form V (SSS V) was developed for the measurement of Sensation Seeking. The process of validation of Sensation Seeking as part of a multilevel theory includes analyses of relations within and between several levels of measurement. The present study investigates validity and basic psychometric properties of a German version of the SSS V in a broader context of psychometric traits. - The 120 participants were mainly students. They completed the SSS V, the Venturesomeness- and Impulsiveness-Scales of the IVE, the BIS/BAS-Scales, the ZKPQ and the NEO-FFI. - The results reveal acceptable psychometric properties for the SSS V but with limitations with regard to factor structure. Indications for criterion validity were obtained by prediction of substance use by the subscales Dis and BS. The results of a MTMM analysis, especially the convergent validities of the SSS V were quite satisfying. On the whole, the results yielded sufficient support for the validity of the Sensation Seeking construct or the instrument respectively. They also point to desirable modifications.
