Conditional Item Bias Methods

1983
Item bias studies investigate whether different ethnic, racial or cultural groups show different response behaviour to test items. Reviews of item bias methods have been given by Jensen (1980, chap. 9), Petersen (1977), and Rudner, Getson and Knight (1980). A distinction will be made between unconditional and conditional methods.

Item Bias and Test Multidimensionality

1988
In recent decades the question whether tests are equally “fair” for members of several (cultural) groups has received considerable attention. Often only the item responses of one single test measuring the construct of interest are available, which means the researcher does not have a criterion at his disposal by which the “fairness” of the total scores

Item Bias and Individual Differences

1991
To date the study of item bias has been almost exclusively statistical and methodological. Bias is defined in terms of a statistical technique, the procedure is applied and items with deviant values are assumed to be biased. That is, largely unexamined assumptions are made about the probable effects of bias, if it exists, and procedures are then ...

Conceptual Implications of Item Bias

1991
Any comparison presupposes a tertium comparationis, i.e. an invariant standard or measurement scale in terms of which the comparison can be made. In the natural sciences scale identity can be formally defined in terms of measurement procedures. In psychology where interactions occur between the measurement instruments and the objects of measurement ...

A METHOD OF ASSESSING BIAS IN TEST ITEMS

Journal of Educational Measurement, 1979
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

Detecting Item BIAS in Affective Scales

Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1987
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).
