Item Bias and Test Multidimensionality
1988In 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

A METHOD OF ASSESSING BIAS IN TEST ITEMS
Journal of Educational Measurement, 1979In 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

Item Bias and Individual Differences
1991To 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 ...

Procedures for Extending Item Bias Detection Techniques to Polytomously Scored Items
Applied Measurement in Education, 1993The recent increased emphasis on various types of performance assessments raises the question of what is the effect of such assessments on various population subgroups. This study was designed to suggest methodology for several statistical procedures to detect performance assessment items that function differently for two subgroups of examinees.

Simulation Studies of Item Bias Estimation Accuracy
2021The item-parameter invariance assumption of Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs) states that item parameters are not functionally dependent upon the characteristics of an examinee with respect to a specific examinee population. Violations of this assumption for a test item indicate the presence of item-bias for that item.

Conceptual Implications of Item Bias
1991Any 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 ...

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.

Linguistic sources of item bias for second generation immigrants in Dutch tests
, 2005This article reports the first results of a long-term research project focusing on the detection and possible linguistic causes of differential item functioning (DIF) for second generation immigrant students in the Final Test of Primary Education in the ...

Since the introduction of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961), studies have documented its effectiveness as a self-report measure of depression (for a review, see Beck, Steer, & Garbin, 1988).

Simulation study of item bias detection with restricted factor analysis
, 1998Restricted factor analysis (RFA) can be used to detect item bias (also called differential item functioning). In the RFA method of item bias detection, the common factor model serves as an item response model, but group membership is also included in the
