Extending reliability to intensive longitudinal data with the Kalman filter

open access: yesBritish 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 ...

Measurement invariance in longitudinal bifactor models: review and application based on the p factor

open access: yes, 2022
Latent variable models which address the commonality across mental disorders and symptoms (eg. bifactor models) have great potential to deepen our understanding of mental health across the lifespan. However, to accurately interpret change in these models

The second language trait emotional intelligence (L2-TEI) scale and its relation to language engagement

open access: yesActa Psychologica
This study tested the psychometric properties and factorial validity of the language domain-specific trait emotional intelligence (L2-TEI) scale among 415 language learners and assessed its criterion validity in predicting language engagement.

Approximating multidimensionality with asymmetric unidimensional IRT models

open access: yesBritish 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

open access: yesBritish 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,

A Bifactor Model of Disgust Proneness

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

On the distortion of model fit in comparing the bifactor model and the higher-order factor model [PDF]

open access: yesIntelligence, 2016
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.

Application of bifactor models in criminal psychology research: a guide to researchers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the nature of confirmatory bifactor modelling. Confirmatory bifactor modelling is a factor analytic procedure that allows researchers to model unidimensionality and multidimensionality ...

Factorial validity of the Twi versions of five measures of mental health and well-being in Ghana.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:Mental health is considered an integral part of human health. Reliable and valid measurement instruments are needed to assess various facets of mental health in the native language of the people involved.
