IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

An uncomplicated introduction to representational measurement theory

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measurement in psychology is often associated with psychometrics. Despite the theoretical insights afforded by psychometric methods, they represent only a restricted range of possible measurement approaches in the social sciences. Representational measurement theory (RMT) generalizes the logic of measurement developed in the physical sciences ...
