The most recently and frequently used adapted intelligence test, the Hellenic Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-third edition published in 1997 (WISC-III), has been revised and replaced by the fourth edition (WISC-IV). The purpose of the study was to investigate the utility of the Word Reasoning subtest with Greek speaking children. The subtest was translated into Greek by professional translators, back translated by a professor of philosophy highly fluent in both Greek and English and translations viewed by a panel of psychologists well versed in psychoeducational assessment and child development. Participants included 100 Greek speaking children residing in Greece and Cyprus. The Greek-speaking children were matched by gender and age with 100 English speaking children from the standardization sample of the WISC-IV. It was hypothesized that there would be a statistically significant difference between the total raw scores of the two groups and for difficulty level on each item. Results partally supported the hypothesis. There was no statistically significant difference in the total raw score for Greek and for children in the standardization sample. However, there were differences in item difficulty for the groups. Greek children found more difficult items easier than children in the standardization group. Further, implications for practices are discussed concerning the use of translated measures and alternatives in bilingual testing." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "BF432.5.W42 Z34 2006" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2006" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "BF432.5.W42 Z34 2006_ZafirisChristina" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001026/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Zafiris, Christina" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (S.S.P.)--Barry University, 2006.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 29-32)" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "32 leaves ; 28 cm." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Christina Zafiris.
