Factorial Invariance of the Behavioral Dimensions Rating Scale.

Wilson, Michael J.; And Others

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v20 n1 p11-17 Apr 1987

The Behavioral Dimensions Rating Scale was administered to both emotionally disturbed and normal students. The factor structure was found, using confirmatory factor analysis, to be invariant over these groups. Thus, the construct validity of the instrument was supported as a measure of disturbance of school age children. (Author/KS)
