TI  - Factor structure and sex differences on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale 
      of Intelligence in China, Japan and United States.
PG  - 1222-1226
AB  - This study presents data on the factor structure of the Wechsler Preschool and 
      Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) and sex and cultural differences in WPPSI 
      test scores among 5- and 6-year-olds from China, Japan, and the United States. 
      Results show the presence of a verbal and nonverbal factor structure across all 
      three countries. Sex differences on the 10 subtests were generally consistent, 
      with a male advantage on a subtest of spatial abilities (Mazes). Males in the 
      Chinese sample obtained significantly higher Full Scale IQ scores than females 
      and had lower variability in their test scores. These observations were not 
      present in the Japan and United States samples. Mean Full Scale IQ score in the 
      Chinese sample was 104.1, representing a 4-point increase from 1988 to 2004.
