Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Rapid guessing (RG) is a form of non-effortful responding that is characterized by short response latencies. This construct-irrelevant behavior has been shown in previous research to bias infer…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Accounting for model misspecification in Bayesian structural equation models is an active area of research. We present a uniquely Bayesian approach to misspecification that models the degree of…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. This note demonstrates that the widely used Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) need not be generally viewed as a routinely dependable index for model selection when the bifactor and second-or…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Short-form development is an important topic in psychometric research, which requires researchers to face methodological choices at different steps. The statistical techniques traditionally use…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. A recurring question regarding Likert items is whether the discrete steps that this response format allows represent constant increments along the underlying continuum. This question appears un…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) are often used in psychological research when developing measurement models for psychological constructs. Evaluating CFA model fit can be quite challenging, a…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Metaheuristics are optimization algorithms that efficiently solve a variety of complex combinatorial problems. In psychological research, metaheuristics have been applied in short-scale constru…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Multiple imputation (MI) is one of the recommended techniques for handling missing data in ordinal factor analysis models. However, methods for computing MI-based fit indices under ordinal fact…
