Item Response Modeling of Forced-Choice Questionnaires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Multidimensional forced-choice formats can significantly reduce the impact of numerous response biases typically associated with rating scales. However, if scored with classical methodology, these questionnaires produce ipsative data, which lead to ...

A Monte Carlo study of IRTree models’ ability to recover item parameters

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Item response tree (IRTree) models are theorized to extract response styles from self-report data by utilizing multidimensional item response theory (IRT) models based on theoretical decision processes.

Nonignorable Consequences of (Partially) Ignoring Missing Item Responses: Students Omit (Constructed Response) Items Due to a Lack of Knowledge

open access: yesKnowledge, 2023
In recent literature, alternative models for handling missing item responses in large-scale assessments have been proposed. Based on simulations and arguments based on psychometric test theory, it is argued in this literature that missing item responses ...

The Value of Response Times in Item Response Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesMeasurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2015
A new and very interesting approach to the analysis of responses and response times is proposed by Goldhammer (this issue). In this approach, differences in the speed-ability compromise within respondents are considered to confound the differences in ability between respondents.

Item response mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Statistical models for the relations between variables encompass assumptions about the underlying mechanism that generated the relations in the observed data. This dissertation introduces item response mechanics as the study of data-generating mechanisms

Understanding examinees’ item responses through cognitive modeling of response accuracy and response times

open access: yesLarge-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Understanding the cognitive processes, skills and strategies that examinees use in testing is important for construct validity and score interpretability. Although response processes evidence has long been included as an important aspect of validity (i.e.

Investigating the Impact of Item Parameter Drift for Item Response Theory Models with Mixture Distributions

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
This study investigates the impact of item parameter drift (IPD) on parameter and ability estimation when the underlying measurement model fits a mixture distribution, thereby violating the item invariance property of unidimensional item response theory (

Logistic response models with item interactions [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 2011
Items that are clustered according to shared content may violate the principle of conditional independence commonly used in item response theory. This paper investigates the capabilities of a logistic item response model in relation to locally dependent item responses.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.
