Abstract:
Discriminative Validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - IV (WIS) in a Social-Pediatric Sample This study presents data on the discriminative validity of the Wechsler Scale of Intelligence for Children - IV (WIS) for clinical diagnoses, different types of schooling, and variables related to migration. The sample comprises 631 children aged 6 to 13 who were tested with the WIS core tests in German centers of social pediatrics (Sozialpädiatrische Zentren) which offer interdisciplinary assessment and intervention for children and youth with developmental disorders, disabilities, and psychological problems. Large effects were found for clinical diagnoses and types of schooling that are related to intellectual abilities: Children with intellectual developmental disorders and pupils of special schools for children with intellectual disability obtained low or very low IQ-scores. Children with migration background scored relatively lower only on the Verbal Comprehension Index.
