The problem of local item dependencies (LIDs) is very common in personality and attitude measures, particularly in those that measure narrow-bandwidth dimensions. At the structural level, these dependencies can be modeled by using extended factor analytic (FA) solutions that include correlated residuals. However, the effects that LIDs have on the…

The Evaluation of a Peer Tutoring Program: A Quantitive Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brandwein, Ann Cohen; DiVittis, Anthony – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
A quantitative way of measuring peer tutor training programs and peer tutor effectiveness is presented. The evaluation of a peer group training course at Baruch College (City University of New York), for which this questionnaire was developed, is described. This measure is adaptable to most higher education peer tutoring programs. (Author/BS)

The Effect of Grouped versus Randomized Questionnaire Format on Scale Reliability and Validity: A Three-Study Investigation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schriesheim, Chester A.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
Three studies explored the effects of grouping versus randomized items in questionnaires on internal consistency and test-retest reliability with samples of 80, 80, and 100, respectively, university students and undergraduates. The 2 correlational and 1 experimental studies were reasonably consistent in demonstrating that neither format was…

Procedures for Designing Course Evaluation Instruments: Masked Personality Format versus Transparent Achievement Format.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carey, Lou M.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
Effects of randomly distributing attitude-measurement items throughout a questionnaire (personality format) versus grouping together items from the same dimension (achievement format) on students' end-of-course evaluations were studied for 376 undergraduates. Advantages demonstrated for the achievement format in terms of statistical results,…
