Abstract
The Early Identification System–Student Report (EIS-SR) is a 34-item measure of social-emotional functioning that is designed to be a low-cost universal screening tool. To date, studies of the EIS-SR demonstrate promising psychometric properties, but these properties have not yet been assessed in groups of children from historically underrepresented populations. The current study seeks to help close this gap in the literature by examining the evidence of validity related to the internal structure of the EIS-SR in a sample of Grades 3 through 8 students in the southwestern United States. Analyses indicated mixed findings regarding the model fit of the EIS-SR in the obtained sample, which implies that more data regarding its measurement invariance across diverse populations are needed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
