Structure of Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety With Chinese College Students: A Bifactor Approach
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 The Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety (ASDA), as one of the most widely used measures of death anxiety (DA), has increasingly been applied in many studies. However, the structures derived from different studies are highly inconsistent.

Implementing Argument‐Based Validity in Second Language Research on Individual Differences
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Quantitative meta‐syntheses focusing on the psychometric properties of measurement tools in second and foreign language (L2) individual differences (ID) research have drawn scholars' attention to the quality of data collection instruments (Plonsky & Derrick, 2016; Sudina, 2023).

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 For practical and theoretical purposes, tests of second language (L2) ability commonly aim to measure one overarching trait, general language ability, while simultaneously measuring multiple sub-traits (e.g., reading, grammar, etc.). This tension between

Level‐specific reliability coefficients from the perspective of latent state‐trait theory
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The growing popularity of the ecological momentary assessment method in psychological research requires adequate statistical models for intensive longitudinal data (ILD), with multilevel latent state‐trait (ML‐LST) models based on the latent state‐trait theory revised (LST‐R theory) as one possible alternative.

Extending reliability to intensive longitudinal data with the Kalman filter
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Reliability is central to how researchers approach measurement in standard, group‐based analyses of single‐time‐point data, yet this critical aspect is often overlooked in the analysis of repeated observations. Since its inception, reliability has been a between‐person concept, but we redevelop this notion for within‐person designs by ...

Approximating multidimensionality with asymmetric unidimensional IRT models
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models are widely used even in settings where assessment data exhibit subtle forms of multidimensionality. Recent empirical evidence suggests that when item difficulty is associated with dimensionality, asymmetric item characteristic curves (ICCs) emerge in the unidimensional approximation.

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has been a prominent modelling framework in educational and psychological measurement. Traditional IRT models are bipolar, commonly assuming symmetric measurement link functions and symmetric trait distributions over a latent continuum unbounded at both ends. However, many measured constructs, such as print exposure,

Bifactor and Hierarchical Models: Specification, Inference, and Interpretation
Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, 2018 Bifactor and other hierarchical models have become central to representing and explaining observations in psychopathology, health, and other areas of clinical science, as well as in the behavioral sciences more broadly. This prominence comes after a relatively rapid period of rediscovery, however, and certain features remain poorly understood.

Test of the Bifactor Model of Job-Related Affective Well-Being
Europe's Journal of Psychology, 2019 The multidimensional measure of the job-related affective well-being developed by Warr (1990) is a frequently used tool estimating affect in the work context. Alternative factorial models of this measure were tested in previous studies.

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Aversive (“dark”) personality traits are traditionally studied as predictors of harmful or manipulative behavior, yet their underlying cognitive‐affective structures remain underexplored. This research investigates whether the Dark Core of personality (D)—the common aversive essence of all dark traits—is associated with primal world ...
