1. Factorial Invariance of the California Achievement Tests across Race and Sex.

Author

Powers, Stephen and Jones, Patricia B.

Abstract

The six California Achievement Tests (CAT) subtests were factor analyzed separately for Black males, Black females, Hispanic males, Hispanic females, White males, and White females, in the fifth and seventh grades. the CAT was found to be essentially invariant with regard to race and sex.

2. Two Basic Programs to Compute Hotelling's T-Square Statistic.

Author

Powers, Stephen and Jones, Patricia B.

Abstract

This paper describes two BASIC computer programs that calculate Hotelling's T-square either for one sample or for two samples. Output of the progams includes the Mahalanobis distance D-square, the F ratio associated with T-square, and its probability level. (Author)

3. A Basic Computer Program for Calculating Simultaneous Pairwise Comparisons in Analysis of Covariance.

Author

Powers, Stephen and Jones, Patricia

Abstract

This paper describes a computer program which tests all pairwise comparisons of adjusted means in analysis of covariance by using Tukey-Kramer Test. The program contains: means of covariate, adjusted means of the criterion measure, sample size, mean square error, and the desired percentile point on the Studentized range distribution. (JAZ)

4. Validity of the Standard Progressive Matrices as a Predictor of Achievement of Sixth and Seventh Grade Students

Author

Powers, Stephen, Jones, Patricia B., and Barkan, Jerry H.

Abstract

The predictive validity of the Standard Progressive Matrices(SPM) was examined with a sample of 212 sixth grade students and 214 seventh grade students. Correlation coefficients between the SPM and the California Achievement Tests of Reading, Language, and Mathematics ranged from .34 to .60. Those coefficients were similar in range and magnitude to those coefficients reported by the SPM Manual.

5. Reliability and Validity of the Language Proficiency Measure

Author

Powers, Stephen, Johnson, Donna M., Slaughter, Helen B., Crowder, Christopher, and Jones, Patricia B.

Abstract

A total of 101 English-speaking Hispanic and 97 Spanish-speaking Hispanic pupils in Grade K-3 were administered the Language Proficiency Measure (LPM). Results indicated that the interrater reliability was adequate, internal-consistency reliability estimates were high, concurrent validity coefficients were adequate, and the classification validity was acceptable. These findings provided substantial evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the LPM.

6. Factorial Invariance of the California Achievement Tests Across Race and Sex

Author

Powers, Stephen and Jones, Patricia B.

Abstract

The six subtests of the California Achievement Tests were factor analyzed separately for black males, black females, Hispanic males, Hispanic females, white males, and white females in the fifth- and seventh-grades. One factor best described the factor structure of the test of each group. The structures of each group were compared by using coefficients of congruence. The California Achievement Test was found to be essentially invariant with regard to race and sex.
