Gumpel, Thomas; Wilson, Mark; Shalev, Ruth
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v31 n6 p525-32 Nov-Dec 1998
A study involving 453 pairs of Israeli parents and teachers used an item response theory measurement model(IRT) to examine the 28-item Conners Teacher's Rating Scale (CTRS) for diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. IRT analyses revealed structural inadequacies involving the inappropriateness of the 4-point Likert-type scale used by the CTRS. (Author/CR)
