Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Measurement involves numerous theoretical and empirical steps—ensuring our measures are operating the same in different groups is one step. Measurement invariance occurs when the factor loading…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. This study investigated uniform differential item functioning (DIF) detection in response times. We proposed a regression analysis approach with both the working speed and the group membership …
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. A multiple-step procedure is outlined that can be used for examining the latent structure of behavior measurement instruments in complex empirical settings. The method permits one to study thei…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. The speed–accuracy tradeoff (SAT), where increased response speed often leads to decreased accuracy, is well established in experimental psychology. However, its implications for psychological …
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Rapid-guessing behavior in data can compromise our ability to estimate item and person parameters accurately. Consequently, it is crucial to model data with rapid-guessing patterns in a way tha…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. The standardized mean difference (sometimes called Cohen’s d) is an effect size measure widely used to describe the outcomes of experiments. It is mathematically natural to describe differences…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Field-testing is an essential yet often resource-intensive step in the development of high-quality educational assessments. I introduce an innovative method for field-testing newly written exam…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Despite numerous studies on the magnitude of differential item functioning (DIF), different DIF detection methods often define effect sizes inconsistently and fail to adequately account for tes…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. In educational assessment, cut scores are often defined through standard setting by a group of subject matter experts. This study aims to investigate the impact of several factors on classifica…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Educational and psychological tests with an ordered item structure enable efficient test administration procedures and allow for intuitive score interpretation and monitoring. The effectiveness…
