摘要

本研究主要目的在檢驗「魏氏兒童智力量表」第三版(WISC-III)在不同性別兒童間之因素恆等性。文中根據WISC-III標準化樣本(N=1098)運用多樣本結構方程模式進行多樣本驗證性因素分析。本研究以WISC-III中十二個主要分測驗與四個潛在因素架構為假設基準模型，分二階段完成檢驗：階段一先就男女二組進行單樣本驗證性因素分析，確認基準因素結構的適切性；階段二則建立階段性逐步設限的巢套模型，一一檢驗因素負荷量、殘差變異及因素變異數與共變數跨性別恆等之假設。研究結果顯示，除了極細微的一處殘差共變差異外，模型契合度與卡方差異檢驗說明WISC-III在不同性別間具有因素恆等性，男女兒童之WISC-III分數具有相同之解釋意義。

Based on a nationally-representative sample of 1,098 Taiwan children (males N=548; females N=550), the purpose of this study was to test for the invariance of the WISC-III factorial structure across gender. Prior to the invariance analysis, the hypothesized four-factor model was applied to each group. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed that this model fits both sexes well. Further, based on this baseline model, results from multi-sample CFA analyses generally supported the gender invariance. Evidence of partial measurement invariance revealed that, except for subtle discrepancies involving correlated error terms, the hypothesized model described the data for both sexes pretty well. The overall factor pattern, factor loadings, unique variances, factor variances and covariances of the WISC-III are generally invariant across gender.
