Celeste Combrinck – SAGE Open, 2024
We have less time and focus than ever before, while the demand for attention is increasing. Therefore, it is no surprise that when answering questionnaires, we often choose to strongly agree or be neutral, producing problematic and unusable data. The current study investigated forced-choice (ipsative) format compared to the same questions on a…

Schulte, Niklas; Holling, Heinz; Bürkner, Paul-Christian – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2021
Forced-choice questionnaires can prevent faking and other response biases typically associated with rating scales. However, the derived trait scores are often unreliable and ipsative, making interindividual comparisons in high-stakes situations impossible. Several studies suggest that these problems vanish if the number of measured traits is high.…

Laura A. Outhwaite; Pirjo Aunio; Jaimie Ka Yu Leung; Jo Van Herwegen – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Successful early mathematical development is vital to children's later education, employment, and wellbeing outcomes. However, established measurement tools are infrequently used to (i) assess children's mathematical skills and (ii) identify children with or at-risk of mathematical learning difficulties. In response, this pre-registered systematic…

Ford, Jeremy W.; Conoyer, Sarah J.; Lembke, Erica S.; Smith, R. Alex; Hosp, John L. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2018
In the present study, two types of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) tools in science, Vocabulary Matching (VM) and Statement Verification for Science (SV-S), a modified Sentence Verification Technique, were compared. Specifically, this study aimed to determine whether the format of information presented (i.e., SV-S vs. VM) produces differences…

Ksendzova, Masha; Donnelly, Grant E.; Howell, Ryan T. – Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning, 2017
Money management is essential for financial health, and more research is needed to better assess people's money management practices. Therefore, we factor-analyzed 205 scaled questions from previous money management measures to select the best items and examined their internal consistency and convergent validity. Our resulting 18-item Brief Money…

Austin, Joe Dan – Psychometrika, 1981
On distractor-identification tests students mark as many distractors as possible on each test item. A grading scale is developed for this type testing. The score is optimal in that it yields an unbiased estimate of the student's score as if no guessing had occurred. (Author/JKS)

Classically parallel, tau-equivalently parallel, and congenerically parallel models representing various degrees of part-test parallelism and their appropriateness for tests composed of multiple item formats are discussed. An appropriate reliability estimate for a test with multiple item formats is presented and illustrated. (SLD)
