Measurement equivalence of extraversion and conscientiousness items and scale across four countries
Using IRT and MACS approaches, we examined measurement equivalence of the Extraversion and Conscientious Scales of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) between the US and China, Australia and Spain. The results showed 1-4 items of each scale to have measurement nonequivalence in each pair of comparison, …

Measurement equivalence of the Comprehensive Personality Scales across cultures: an item response theory approach
Within the item response theory (IRT) framework, this study compared cross-culturally different approaches to the assessment of differential item functioning (DIF) in two personality tests of the Comprehensive Personality Scale (Wang, 2013). A dominance IRT model (SGRM) and an ideal point model …

Establishing Cultural Relevance and Measurement Equivalence Using Emic and Etic Items (cross-Cultural, Philippines, Job Satisfaction)
A basic concern of cross-cultural research is to be able to document cognitive, affective, and behavioral processes of individuals across a variety of cultural settings. This type of research involves gathering data in different cultural settings. In an effort to maintain standardization, measures …

The development and validation of effect size measures for IRT and CFA studies of measurement equivalence
Evaluating measurement equivalence is a necessary first step before comparisons can be made across groups or over time. As a result, techniques for evaluating equivalence have received much attention in the literature. Given the many benefits of these approaches, measurement equivalence is most …

Assessing Measurement Equivalence of the English and Spanish Versions on an Employee Attitude Survey Using Multigroup Analysis in Structural Equation Modeling.
… in Structural Equation Modeling - evaluating measurement equivalence of English and Spanish versions of an employee opinion survey. The concept of measurement equivalence was defined as consisting of four components: sample equivalence, semantic equivalence, conceptual equivalence and scalar …

Gender and the HEXACO model of personality: Meta-analysis, measurement equivalence, and specification of agency as a core construct of investment
… and Openness (dc = .09). Study 2 assesses gender measurement equivalence in the HEXACO, to establish that the observed gender mean differences in HEXACO domains can be attributed to actual differences in the underlying constructs, rather than to measurement bias (i.e., supporting metric and scalar …

ITEM RESPONSE THEORY ANALYSIS OF THE TOP LEADERSHIP DIRECTION SCALE
… second analysis, I aimed to provide evidence of measurement equivalence across functional groups of employees using differential item functioning (DIF) analysis in IRT. Due to the lack of model fit, the DIF analysis was incomplete. A supplementary multigroup CFA was conducted to investigate the …

Examining the Equivalence of Rater Groups in 360-Degree Feedback for Use in Leadership Development
… study assessed the seldom-considered aspect of measurement equivalence across the three most common rater groups in 360-degree feedback systems. The graded response model for polytomous items was used to assess differential functioning of items and tests and applied to an archival data set of …

Religiosity and spirituality in younger and older adults.
… and the results were considered in light of measurement equivalence and the definitions of the constructs of religiosity and spirituality. Further analyses examined levels of religiousness as well as relationships between religiousness/spirituality and potential correlates, such as postformal …

Equivalence and faking issues of the aggression questionnaire and the conditional reasoning test for aggression in Korean and American samples
Researchers have raised concerns about measurement equivalence in comparing personalities across cultures using personality assessments. The self-reported personality measurements often do not assess the same construct, trigger different response styles (i.e., extreme response style), or use …

Contingency of Work as a Psychological Construct
… measuring these four perceptual domains. The measurement properties of this scale were examined in a sample of temporary and non-contingent workers. Results showed that the measure represented the four constructs well; the measure also demonstrated measurement equivalence across the temporary …

Validity and Validation in Psychology
… twin terms which are most often associated with measurement are ‘validity’ on the one hand and ‘validation’ on the other. Validity is roughly understood as good measurement, while validation denotes the processes or practices needed to secure this property. These twin concerns will be the anchor …

A pscyhometric investigation of the comprehensive assessment of sadistic tendencies (cast): Evidence from factor analysis and item response theory

Selecting an Optimal Measurement Model and Detecting Differential Item Functioning Using Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Implicit Theories and Beta Change in Longitudinal Evaluations of Training Effectiveness: An Investigation Using Item Response Theory
Golembiewski, Billingsly, and Yeager (1976) conceptualized three distinct types of change that might result from development interventions, called alpha, beta, and gamma change. Recent research has found that beta and gamma change do occur as hypothesized, but the phenomena are somewhat infrequent …
