Reducing Item-Specific Nonresponse Bias

The Journal of Experimental Education, 1978

A METHOD OF ASSESSING BIAS IN TEST ITEMS

In the past few years, the issue of test bias with its far-reaching political and social implications has been the subject of much controversy. The majority of the research on bias has been concerned with the fair use of testing instruments in decision-making situations such as employment and college admissions. In general, the models employed in these

The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the use of confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the existence of item bias in an affective scale measuring self-concept. The data were collected from three ethnic groups (Black, Hispanic, and White) in grade eight (N = 1264).
