  1. An Item Response Unfolding Model for Graphic Rating Scales

    Liu, YingUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    … mark is taken as the measure. An item response unfolding model is proposed to analyze the bounded continuous data collected with the graphic rating scale. The model has both location and dispersion parameters, and the item response function is developed based on the truncated normal density. The …

  3. A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach to the generalized graded unfolding model estimation: the future of non-cognitive measurement

    Wang, WeiUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2014

    … that ideal point item response theory (IRT) models are more appropriate than dominance IRT models for measuring non-cognitive variables such as personality, vocational interests, attitudes, person-environment fit (e.g., person-job fit), etc. Although a couple of ideal point IRT models have …

  4. A New IRT Approach to Test Construction and Scoring Designed to Reduce the Effects of Faking in Personality Assessment: The Generalized Graded Unfolding Model for Multi -Unidimensional Paired Comparison Responses

    Stark, Stephen EdwardUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2015

    … a new multi-unidimensional item response theory model, called the GGUM-MU. Equations for the GGUM-MU item response and information functions are derived, a statistical method for examining model-data fit is illustrated, and the results of simulation studies to investigate the accuracy of a Bayes …

  5. The Straw that Breaks the Camel's Back: Do Shocks Moderate the Relationship between Attitudinal Variables and Turnover?

    Tenbrink, Allison N.Ohio University2012

    … provided by Lee and Mitchell (1994)’s unfolding model of voluntary turnover. The unfolding model introduces a novel construct to the turnover literature known as a “shock to the system”. Shocks are theorized to be distinguishable events that lead individuals to re-evaluate their current …

    Tanaka, Kyoko2013

    … the items. Coombs (1950; 1964) introduced the unfolding technique on preferential choice data. In 1960, Bennett and Hays went on to create a multidimensional unfolding model. Hojo (1997;1998) showed rank data could be used in multidimensional scaling, however he did not implement a Bayesian …

    Shah, Riddhi2016

    … FN matrix fibrils are elastic in nature. Two models have been proposed to explain the elasticity of the fibrils. The first model: the ‘domain unfolding’ model postulates that the unraveling of FNIII domains under tension explains fibril elasticity.</p><p>The second model relies on the …

  11. Measurement equivalence of the Comprehensive Personality Scales across cultures: an item response theory approach

    Zhang, LuyaoUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2017

    … Personality Scale (Wang, 2013). A dominance IRT model (SGRM) and an ideal point model (the GGUM) were applied within the NHST paradigm, due to the debate over which is the more appropriate model for personality research. Nye’s (2011) DIF effect size measure was also used in the current study to …
