Confirmatory factor analysis of the WAIS-R in patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract:

:Although factor scores are commonly used to interpret the Weschsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R), the WAIS-R factor structure has not been investigated in patients with schizophrenia. We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to examine five latent construct models in 169 males with schizophrenia. The WAIS-R standardization sample (ages 35-44; n = 250) was used as a comparison group. For both groups, all model fit indexes used to determine model adequacy supported models composed of Verbal Comprehension (VC), Perceptual Organization (PO) and Freedom from Distractibility (FFD) factors. However, the Digit Symbol subtest loaded on both the PO and FFD factors for patients with schizophrenia but only on the FFD factor for the WAIS-R standardization sample. Patients with schizophrenia performed significantly worse on the FFD and PO factors compared to the VC factor, reflecting the well-characterized attention and problem solving deficits associated with schizophrenia. Also, patients with schizophrenia performed significantly worse than the WAIS-R sample on all factors. These results provide support for the validity of the WAIS-R factors in patients with schizophrenia.
