To establish concurrent validity for the PAI-ADHD, I conducted a One-way ANCOVA
and interpreted the Brown-Forsythe statistic to compare PAI-ADHD means across the three
diagnostic groups (Brown & Forsythe, 1974). After controlling for sex and age, there was a
significant effect of diagnostic group membership on PAI-ADHD score [F(2,135) = 24.42, p <
.001, partial eta squared =.27]. See Table 12.31
