Duncan, R. Eric – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Reanalyzes data provided by Swanson (1976) and Straton and Catts (1980) to test claims of superiority for the three-alternative multiple-choice item test and to present possible oversights made by these researchers. Results suggest it is doubtful that three-alternative test items are better than four-alternative items. (PAS)
