Gender Differences on the WAIS-R Performance Scale with Young Deaf Adults.

Ensor, Allan; Phelps, LeAdelle

Journal of the American Deafness and Rehabilitation Association, v22 n3 p48-52 Jan 1989

The Performance Scale of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised was administered to 185 hearing-impaired young adults. A gender difference was found only on the Digit Symbol subtest, where females outperformed males. The high degree of factorial similarity between males and females indicated that the underlying construct being measured does not differ by gender. (Author/JDD)
