تغاير القياس للبناء العاملي لمقياس الحكمة الشخصية عبر الجنسين

الملخص EN

The main study objectives were testing the factor structure of Webster personal wisdom scale, test the factorial invariant across gender, and test the differences of scale reliability across gender using Feldt transformation.

Correlational descriptive and Comparative causal approaches had been used in the study.

571 students from Islamic Imam Mohamed Ibn Saud university had been selected randomly.

The study revealed that the test structure had a best fitting according to goodness-offit indices, then the factorial invariant was increasing for the male scale structure, finally, there was differences in scale across gender according Feldt transformation.

The study recommended the use of differential evidentiary tests to study differences between reliability coefficients when answering the question (Are there differences in reliability between different constructors on a scale, rather than calculating reliability for the male version and constancy for the female version as is customary in Arabic research).

It also recommended the importance of studying differences or similarity in factor structure, especially between males and females, in structures that are affected by personality or emotional traits.

The study also recommends in practice the preparation and delivery of guidance and training programs that contribute to the development of personal wisdom in its various dimensions among university students.
