Improvement in Detection of Differential Item Functioning Using a Mixture Item Response Theory Model
Direct linkMaij-de Meij, Annette M.; Kelderman, Henk; van der Flier, Henk – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2010
Usually, methods for detection of differential item functioning (DIF) compare the functioning of items across manifest groups. However, the manifest groups with respect to which the items function differentially may not necessarily coincide with the true source of the bias. It is expected that DIF detection under a model that includes a latent DIF…

Are Intelligence Tests Measurement Invariant over Time? Investigating the Nature of the Flynn Effect
Wicherts, Jelte M.; Dolan, Conor V.; Hessen, David J.; Oosterveld, Paul; van Baal, G. Caroline M.; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Span, Mark M. – Intelligence, 2004
The gains of scores on standardized intelligence tests (i.e., Flynn effect) have been the subject of extensive debate concerning their nature, causes, and implications. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether five intelligence tests are measurement invariant with respect to cohort. Measurement invariance implies that gains over the…

Peer reviewedvan der Linden, Wim J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1999
Proposes a procedure for empirical initialization of the trait (theta) estimator in adaptive testing that is based on the statistical relation between theta and background variables known prior to test administration. Illustrates the procedure for an adaptive version of a test from the Dutch General Aptitude Battery. (SLD)

Peer reviewedHoogstraten, Joh; Christiaans, H. H. C. M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1975
The relationship of the 1964 forms of the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal to four selected noncognitive measures was studied. Results suggest performance on the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal is independent of sex, neurotic and rigid personality characteristics, and extroversion-introversion factors. (BJG)

Bishop, John – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2005
Most other nations have a very different approach to measuring academic achievement at the end of high school and signaling that information to universities and other interested parties. In Australia, Denmark, England, Scotland, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and many Canadian and German provinces, for example, high school exit…
