Evaluating the psychometric properties of the fatigue severity scale using item response theory
BMC Psychology, 2023 Background Fatigue is a common daily experience and a symptom of various disorders. While scholars have discussed the use of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) using item response theory (IRT), the characteristics of the Japanese version are not yet ...

An application of item response theory to psychological test development
Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, 2016 Item response theory (IRT) has become a popular methodological framework for modeling response data from assessments in education and health; however, its use is not widespread among psychologists. This paper aims to provide a didactic application of IRT
