THE GENERALIZED GRADED UNFOLDING MODEL: A GENERAL PARAMETRIC ITEM RESPONSE MODEL FOR UNFOLDING GRADED RESPONSES [PDF]
ABSTRACTPsychologists have long used binary or graded disagree‐agree responses to measure attitudes. Such data have traditionally been analyzed with cumulative models, but several researchers have recently argued that unfolding models are generally more appropriate.
