Hecht, Martin; Weirich, Sebastian; Siegle, Thilo; Frey, Andreas – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
Multiple matrix designs are commonly used in large-scale assessments to distribute test items to students. These designs comprise several booklets, each containing a subset of the complete item pool. Besides reducing the test burden of individual students, using various booklets allows aligning the difficulty of the presented items to the assumed…

Ringeisen, Tobias; Raufelder, Diana; Schnell, Kerstin; Rohrmann, Sonja – Educational Psychology, 2016
Control-value theory (CVT) proposes a framework for the structure of the relationships between the various predictors of achievement-related emotions, particularly anxiety. Despite existing evidence for the role of anxiety predictors, research has not yet justified their proposed structure. Hence, the current study validated the structure of test…

von Davier, Matthias; Xu, Xueli; Carstensen, Claus H. – Educational Testing Service, 2009
A general diagnostic model was used to specify and compare two multidimensional item-response-theory (MIRT) models for longitudinal data: (a) a model that handles repeated measurements as multiple, correlated variables over time (Andersen, 1985) and (b) a model that assumes one common variable over time and additional orthogonal variables that…
