Grammatikopoulos, Vasilis; Gregoriadis, Athanasios; Linardakis, Michalis – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2019
Self-reported measures are an easy, time-efficient, and low-cost way to collect research data compared to other assessment methods. They are, however, characterized by several limitations regarding the quality and the clarity of the data they produce, especially when they are implemented in education. The main purpose of the current study was to…

Hsieh, Shu-Hui; Wa Lukusa, Martin Tshishimbi – Field Methods, 2021
In surveys, proportions of individuals self-reporting as bisexual and homosexual are likely to suffer from misreports or refusal to answer when directly questioned. For more reliable information, the randomized response technique is often used. Therefore, to reduce social desirability bias, a multi-level randomized response technique has been used…

Lau, Charles Q.; Sanders, Herschel; Lombaard, Ansie – Field Methods, 2019
Short message service (SMS or text messaging) surveys can collect data quickly and inexpensively. However, SMS surveys have space constraints that pose difficulties to questionnaire designers: Questions can only be 160 characters or less, surveys must be short, and many respondents use phones with small screens. In this article, we compare SMS and…

Pastor, Dena A.; Ong, Thai Q.; Strickman, Scott N. – Educational Assessment, 2019
The trustworthiness of low-stakes assessment results largely depends on examinee effort, which can be measured by the amount of time examinees devote to items using solution behavior (SB) indices. Because SB indices are calculated for each item, they can be used to understand how examinee motivation changes across items within a test. Latent class…

Sachse, Karoline A.; Mahler, Nicole; Pohl, Steffi – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019
Mechanisms causing item nonresponses in large-scale assessments are often said to be nonignorable. Parameter estimates can be biased if nonignorable missing data mechanisms are not adequately modeled. In trend analyses, it is plausible for the missing data mechanism and the percentage of missing values to change over time. In this article, we…

Cetin-Berber, Dee Duygu; Sari, Halil Ibrahim; Huggins-Manley, Anne Corinne – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019
Routing examinees to modules based on their ability level is a very important aspect in computerized adaptive multistage testing. However, the presence of missing responses may complicate estimation of examinee ability, which may result in misrouting of individuals. Therefore, missing responses should be handled carefully. This study investigated…

Yousefi-Nooraie, Reza; Marin, Alexandra; Hanneman, Robert; Pullenayegum, Eleanor; Lohfeld, Lynne; Dobbins, Maureen – Sociological Methods & Research, 2019
Using randomly ordered name generators, we tested the effect of name generators' relative position on the likelihood of respondents' declining to respond or satisficing in their response. An online survey of public health staff elicited names of information sources, information seekers, perceived experts, and friends. Results show that when name…

Vijver, Fons J. R. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2018
A conceptual framework of measurement bias in cross-cultural comparisons, distinguishing between construct, method, and item bias (differential item functioning), is used to describe a methodological framework addressing assessment of noncognitive variables in international large-scale studies. It is argued that the treatment of bias, coming from…

Shukla, Kathan; Konold, Timothy – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Insincere respondents can have an adverse impact on the validity of substantive inferences arising from self-administered questionnaires (SAQs). The current study introduces a new method for identifying potentially invalid respondents from their atypical response patterns. The two-step procedure involves generating a response inconsistency (RI)…

Plieninger, Hansjörg – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
Even though there is an increasing interest in response styles, the field lacks a systematic investigation of the bias that response styles potentially cause. Therefore, a simulation was carried out to study this phenomenon with a focus on applied settings (reliability, validity, scale scores). The influence of acquiescence and extreme response…

Halpin, Peter F. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2017
The target paper, "Rethinking Traditional Methods of Survey Validation" (Andrew Maul), raises some interesting critical ideas, both old and new, about the validation of self-report surveys. As indicated by Dr. Maul, recent policy initiatives in the United States (e.g., ESSA) have led to a demand for assessments of…

Valencia, Edgar – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2020
The validity of student evaluation of teaching (SET) scores depends on minimum effect of extraneous response processes or biases. A bias may increase or decrease scores and change the relationship with other variables. In contrast, SET literature defines bias as an irrelevant variable correlated with SET scores, and among many, a relevant biasing…

Kim, Nana; Bolt, Daniel M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
This paper presents a mixture item response tree (IRTree) model for extreme response style. Unlike traditional applications of single IRTree models, a mixture approach provides a way of representing the mixture of respondents following different underlying response processes (between individuals), as well as the uncertainty present at the…

Hedlefs-Aguilar, Maria Isolde; Morales-Martinez, Guadalupe Elizabeth; Villarreal-Lozano, Ricardo Jesus; Moreno-Rodriguez, Claudia; Gonzalez-Rodriguez, Erick Alejandro – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This study explored the cognitive mechanism behind information integration in the test anxiety judgments in 140 engineering students. An experiment was designed to test four factors combined (test goal orientation, test cognitive functioning level, test difficulty and test mode). The experimental task required participants to read 36 scenarios,…
