Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. For large-scale assessments, data are often collected with missing responses. Despite the wide use of item response theory (IRT) in many testing programs, however, the existing literature offer…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Preknowledge cheating jeopardizes the validity of inferences based on test results. Many methods have been developed to detect preknowledge cheating by jointly analyzing item responses and resp…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Even though the impact of the position of response options on answers to multiple-choice items has been investigated for decades, it remains debated. Research on this topic is inconclusive, per…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Recent approaches to the detection of cheaters in tests employ detectors from the field of machine learning. Detectors based on supervised learning algorithms achieve high accuracy but require …
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. The purpose of the present study was to provide the means to evaluate the “interval-scaling” assumption that governs the use of parametric statistics and continuous data estimators in self-repo…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Social desirability bias (SDB) has been a major concern in educational and psychological assessments when measuring latent variables because it has the potential to introduce measurement error …
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. The Mantel–Haenszel estimator is one of the most popular techniques for measuring differential item functioning (DIF). A generalization of this estimator is applied to the context of DIF to com…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. The present paper introduces a general multidimensional model to measure individual differences in learning within a single administration of a test. Learning is assumed to result from practici…
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. The part of responses that is absent in the nonequivalent groups with anchor test (NEAT) design can be managed to a planned missing scenario. In the context of small sample sizes, we present a …
Educational and Psychological Measurement, Ahead of Print. Previous studies have demonstrated evidence of latent skill continuity even in tests intentionally designed for measurement of binary skills. In addition, the assumption of binary skills when c…
