Evidence of Bias in Predictive Validity on the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children in Samples of Anglo and Mexican American Children.
Valencia, Richard R.; Rankin, Richard J.
Psychology in the Schools, v25 n3 p257-63 Jul 1988
Investigated possible bias of Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) with 76 White and 90 Mexican-American fifth- and sixth-graders. Criterion variable was Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS). Results showed considerable evidence of bias in differential predictive validity, indicating global cognitive score of K-ABC was less effective in predicting CTBS scores for Mexican Americans than for Whites.
