Effect of Unequal Sample Sizes on the Power of DIF Detection: An IRT-Based Monte Carlo Study with SIBTEST and Mantel-Haenszel Procedures
… of unequal sample sizes on statistical power of SIBTEST and Mantel-Haenszel procedures for detection of DIF of moderate and large magnitudes. Item parameters were estimated by, and generated with the 2PLM using WinGen2 (Han, 2006). MULTISIM was used to simulate ability estimates and to generate …

Using Differential Item Functioning (Dif) Procedures for Investigating the Cross -Cultural Equivalence of Personality Tests
… perform more consistently across item types than SIBTEST. In summary, the results generally showed a small number of DIF items on each scale, except for scales A and N where about half of the items showed DIF. From the qualitative review of items, the main reasons for DIF were found to be …

Differential Item Functioning Analysis of the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument
… DIF and were flagged for further review. The POLYSIBTEST procedure was used to carry out the DIF analysis. POLYSIBTEST is an extension of the SIBTEST procedure, which is a conceptually simple method for analyzing DIF that uses a latent trait measure rather than an observed total score. The latent …

Structural Equivalence of Vocational Interests Across Culture and Gender: Differential Item Functioning in the Strong Interest Inventory
… item functioning (DIF) was detected using the SIBTEST procedure (Shealy & Stout, 1993). The POLYSIB program was applied to a college sample of 1860 women and 1105 men from the US and 1101 women and 479 men from Iceland. Half of the items used in the GOT and BIS scales showed DIF across culture. …

Questioning the Information Subtest of the Wais-R: Dimensionality, DIF and DBF Analysis, and the Assessment of Category-Specific Semantic Memory Disturbances in Unilaterally Brain -Lesioned Patients
… were convened using an associated statistic, SIBTEST. Various items and item clusters exhibited DIF/DBF in interaction with the LHL group. However, the ""non-living/inanimate"" things item subset did not exhibit DIF/DBF in interaction with this group, but instead exhibited DIF/DBF in …

Differential Item Functioning Analysis of Physical Activity Disparities in the U.S
… using three DIF procedures: Mantel-Haenszel, SIBTEST and ANOVA. Eight general PA items related to respondents' occupational, transportation, domestic, leisure time, and strength related activities and sedentary activities at home, and 33 specific PA items related to moderate and vigorous PA …

Assessing Robustness of the Rasch Mixture Model to Detect Differential Item Functioning - A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
… and parametric methods. Mantel Haenszel (MH), SIBTEST, and standardization are examples of non-parametric DIF detection methods. The majority of parametric DIF detection methods are item response theory (IRT) based. Both non-parametric methods and parametric methods compare differences among …
