Scores were also not compared to the age norms of the battery as the normative sample would not match the malnourished group on factors like family background, educational level of parents, socioeconomic status, school environment, and pattern of teaching.
Results in the clinical sample were crossvalidated by testing all models in the normative sample used in the standardization of the scale.
University of Florida, Gainseville, FL). between three samples: (a) women measured during pregnancy and again at postpartum, (b) age-matched nonpregnant women, and (c) college-aged women from the normative sample used to test the stimuli.
Furthermore, the normative sample of typically developing children and adolescents (aged 5 12 and 13 18 years, n = 567) from Hong Kong was established to improve the psychometric properties of the SSIS-RS-C.
The scores for the Hong Kong sample (n = 567) derived from the use of the SSIS-RS-C were then compared to the normative sample scores from the American version of the SSIS-RS.
The patient's pre- and post- treatment DAS verbal and nonverbal cluster scores were lower than the scores for age- matched controls from the normative sample.
Fourth, we calculated internal consistency (Cronbach's α) for 65 total items in the normative sample.
The single factor model was subjected to CFA using all 65 items from the normative sample.
The distribution of gender in our sample and the normative sample were very similar.
Cronbach's α for the normative sample was 0.96, indicating strong internal consistency.
Our sample had a slightly higher SES than the normative sample, but this difference was small.
