ABSTRACT Food practices have evolved alongside industrialization and urbanization. Compared to earlier generations, modern individuals grow and cook food less often and consume more processed products, weakening awareness of food's natural origins. Three studies examined explanatory pathways linking food practices to pro‐environmentalism through the ...

Implementing Argument‐Based Validity in Second Language Research on Individual Differences
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).

Level‐specific reliability coefficients from the perspective of latent state‐trait theory
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.

Sensory and affective components of symptom perception
Psychological accounts of symptom perception put forward that symptom experiences consist of sensory-perceptual and affective-motivational components. This division is also suggested by psychometric studies investigating the latent structure of symptom ...

Extending reliability to intensive longitudinal data with the Kalman filter
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
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.

A Bifactor Model of Disgust Proneness
The current research evaluated a bifactor model for the Disgust Emotion Scale (DES) in three samples: N = 1,318 nonclinical participants, N = 152 clinic-referred patients, and N = 352 nonclinical participants. The primary goals were to (a) use bifactor modeling to examine the latent structure of the DES and in turn (b) evaluate whether the DES should ...

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure
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,

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 ...

On the distortion of model fit in comparing the bifactor model and the higher-order factor model [PDF]
Gignac (2016) showed that if the constraint by which the higher-order factor model is nested within the bifactor model is violated (the so-called ‘proportionality constraint’), model misfit relates strongly to the magnitude of the violation. In the present paper two clarifications of the results by Gignac are discussed.
