Abstract

ARIAS MARTINEZ, Benito; ARIAS GONZALEZ, Víctor B  and  GOMEZ SANCHEZ, Laura Elísabet. Calibration of Conners ADHD Index with Rasch Model. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.3, pp.957-970. ISSN 1657-9267.

Conners Hyperactivity Index or Conners 3-AI using the Rasch model. The participants in this study were 482 children aged 5 and 6 years old. Results showed that the IHC has good psychometric properties. The fit of both items and persons data to Rasch model was good, and the response categories were functioning properly. Boys scored significantly higher than girls. Three of the items were at risk of gender-specific DIF. The Conners 3-AI has an obvious floor effect, which prevents the evaluation of children with low levels of hyperactivity.

Keywords : Assessment; ADHD; instrument calibration; psychometric properties; Rasch model; item response theory; Conners 3-AI; one-parameter logistic model; 1-PLM; Psychometry; Quantitative Psychology; Clinical Psychology.
