The aim of this study was to validate the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) in Chinese adolescents by examining factor structure, sex-related measurement invariance and latent mean differences, reliability, and criterion-related validity.A total of 1674 Chinese adolescents aged 12–17 years old (Mage = 15.26, SD = .58) were recruited. Results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the four-factor model of the WLEIS as the best fit to the data. Multi-group CFA suggested that the measurement structure of the WLEIS was invariant across sex. Testing for the latent mean differences showed that male adolescents scored lower on the Other-Emotional Appraisal subscale, but scored higher on the Regulation of Emotion subscale than female adolescents. Furthermore, all the subscales of male and female adolescents had satisfactory composite reliability. Finally, the WLEIS had favorable criterion-related validity with self-esteem, life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect and perceived stress. These findings suggested that the WLEIS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing trait emotional intelligence of adolescents and can be generalized across sex.

Measurement invariance of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-V) 10 subtest primary battery was evaluated across sex, age (6–8, 9–11, 12–14, and 15–16 year-olds), and three diagnostic (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and encephalopathy) groups within a large clinical sample ( N = 5359) referred to a children’s specialty hospital. Competing models were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and a five-factor oblique model corresponding to the publisher’s hypothesized first-order measurement model (e.g., verbal comprehension, fluid reasoning, visual-spatial, working memory, and processing speed) was found to have the best model fit. Multigroup CFA was subsequently used to evaluate progressively more restrictive constraints on the measurement model. Results indicated that full metric invariance was attained across the three groups studied. Full scalar invariance was attained for sex and diagnostic groups. Partial scalar invariance was attained for age-group. The results of this study provide support for the first-order scoring structure of the five WISC-V factors in the 10 subtest primary battery with this large clinical sample.

The objective of the present piece of work was to validation of 20 item cultural intelligence scale (CIS-20) in India within country migrated students. Following the incidental cum random sampling technique 200 North Indian engineering students within the age range of 18 to 24 years were drawn from different colleges of Warangal districts, Telangana, India to serve as participants in the present research work. The item analysis was done by corrected item-total correlation. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to confirm explored factors. Moreover, reliability, convergent, discriminant and concurrent validities were also examined. Conformity factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the four factor model of CIS-20. The findings indicated that CIS-20 has sufficient convergent and discriminant validity. The composite reliability was more than .700 for each of the five factors. All five factors of the CIS-20 are significantly associated with criterion measure viz. acculturative stress. It is concluded that there is sufficient empirical and statistical evidence of internal consistency and construct validity of CIS-20. The theoretical and practical issues have been discussed.

Indonesia is a developing country with an uneven educational infrastructure development. It impacts the number of students from rural areas to big cities to get a decent education. Many of those students are experiencing difficulties when entering a new culture, thus disrupting their adjustment, especially in learning styles. The purpose of this study is to investigate any possible correlation between cultural intelligence and Grasha learning style. Participants in this study were 121 students in DKI Jakarta. Cultural Intelligence Scale and Grasha-Riecment Learning Scale Style were used as instruments in this study. Using regression analysis, it was found that 2 of 6 learning style (Collaborative learning style and Independent learning style) were found to have significant role in Cultural Intelligents.
