Identifiability of Bifactor Models

Statistica Sinica, 2020
The bifactor model and its extensions are multidimensional latent variable models, under which each item measures up to one subdimension on top of the primary dimension(s). Despite their wide applications to educational and psychological assessments, this type of multidimensional latent variable models may suffer from non-identifiability, which can ...

Identification and Interpretation of the Completely Oblique Rasch Bifactor Model. [PDF]

Psychometrika
Abstract Bifactor Item Response Theory (IRT) models are the usual option for modeling composite constructs. However, in application, researchers typically must assume that all dimensions of person parameter space are orthogonal. This can result in absurd model interpretations.

Measuring State and Trait Anxiety: An Application of Multidimensional Item Response Theory

Behavioral Sciences, 2023
The State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA) is a widely used measure of state and trait anxiety. Within the Classical Testing Theory model, consistent findings provide support for its multidimensional factor structure ...

The coexistence of coping resources and specific coping styles in stress: evidence from full information item bifactor analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Knowledge of coping styles is useful in clinical diagnosis and suggesting specific therapeutic interventions. However, the latent structures and relationships between different aspects of coping styles have not been fully clarified.

Modelling the Incremental Value of Personality Facets: The Domains‐Incremental Facets‐Acquiescence Bifactor Model

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Personality can be described at different levels of abstraction. Whereas the Big Five domains are the dominant level of analysis, several researchers have called for more fine‐grained approaches, such as facet‐level analysis. Personality facets allow more comprehensive descriptions, more accurate predictions of outcomes, and a better ...

On the Trail of Creativity: Dimensionality of Divergent Thinking and Its Relation With Cognitive Abilities, Personality, and Insight

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Divergent thinking (DT) is an important constituent of creativity that captures aspects of fluency and originality. The literature lacks multivariate studies that report relationships between DT and its aspects with relevant covariates, such as cognitive abilities, personality traits (e.g. openness), and insight. In two multivariate studies (N

The Rediscovery of Bifactor Measurement Models [PDF]

Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2012
Bifactor latent structures were introduced over 70 years ago, but only recently has bifactor modeling been rediscovered as an effective approach to modeling construct-relevant multidimensionality in a set of ordered categorical item responses. I begin by describing the Schmid-Leiman bifactor procedure (Schmid & Leiman, 1957), and highlight its ...
