Factor Structure and Validation of the Electronic form of Persian Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions in Male School Students With Learning Disabilities
This study aims to evaluate the factor structure and validity of the electronic form of the Persian version of Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF) in male school students with learning disabilities.
This is a psychometric study using the structural equation modeling. Participants included 100 male school students with learning disabilities in Kerman for assessing the validity and 430 male school students with learning disabilities for assessing the convergent validity. They were selected by a random sampling method. The data were collected electronically using the Persian BRIEF and Nejati’s Executive Functions Questionnaire (EFQ). The reliability was determined by assessing internal consistency and split-half reliability.
The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the questionnaire had eight factors with good validity and reliability. The second-order confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the eight-factor model. The online Persian BRIEF score had a signifcant correlation with the EFQ score (P<0.001).
The online Persian BRIEF can be used to assess the executive functions in male school students with learning disabilities in Iran.
