【 摘 要 】

In this study, the psychometric properties of Children’s Hope Scale (CHS) scores were examined in three different adolescent samples: an academically gifted sample (n = 321), a general education sample (n = 318), and an academically at-risk sample (n = 266). In addition, score invariance across the range of achievement and gender was also examined. Results indicated that CHS scores had high internal consistency and were structurally sound across all three samples. In addition, CHS scores also showed scalar invariance across gender and measurement invariance across achievement levels. These findings suggest that CHS scores can be used and interpreted across the full range of achievement groups and that comparisons between genders can be made on the basis of CHS scores.
