Is Self-Transcendence Philanthropic? Graded Response Model Approach [PDF]
This study reveals that strong feelings of altruism were found to be statistically significant in explaining prosocial and pro-environmental behaviors. However, this was not the case for the latent trait biosphere in explaining pro-environmental behavior

A Graded Response Model Framework for Questionnaires With Uniform Response Formats. [PDF]
Questionnaires with uniform-ordered categorical response formats are widely applied in psychology. Muraki proposed a modified graded response model accounting for the items’ uniform response formats by assuming identical threshold parameters defining the category boundaries for all items.

The Monotonic Polynomial Graded Response Model: Implementation and a Comparative Study. [PDF]
We present a monotonic polynomial graded response (GRMP) model that subsumes the unidimensional graded response model for ordered categorical responses and results in flexible category response functions. We suggest improvements in the parameterization of the polynomial underlying similar models, expand upon an underlying response variable derivation ...

Using graded response model for the prediction of prostate cancer risk. [PDF]
Disease risk-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to be used for disease risk prediction. An important feature of these risk-associated SNPs is their weak individual effect but stronger cumulative effect on disease risk.
