Ho, Sammy K.; Chan, Edmund S. – Cogent Education, 2017
This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the revised multidimensional scale of perceived social support (R-MSPSS) for Chinese school teachers. A questionnaire comprising the R-MSPSS and other psychological measures was administered to a sample of 539 school teachers in Hong Kong. A series of confirmatory factor analysis was…

Bensley, D. Alan; Lilienfeld, Scott O. – Teaching of Psychology, 2015
Studies of psychological misconceptions have often used tests with methodological shortcomings, unknown psychometric properties, and ad hoc methods for identifying misconceptions, creating problems for estimating frequencies of specific misconceptions. To address these problems, we developed a new test, the Test of Psychological Knowledge and…

Young, Charles; Campbell, Megan – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2014
This article provides GP-CORE norms for a South African university sample, which are compared to published data obtained from a United Kingdom university sample. The measure appears to be both reliable and valid for this multilingual and multicultural South African sample. The profiles of the psychological distress reported by white South African…

Rupp, Andre A.; Templin, Jonathan L. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2008
"Diagnostic classification models" (DCM) are frequently promoted by psychometricians as important modelling alternatives for analyzing response data in situations where multivariate classifications of respondents are made on the basis of multiple postulated latent skills. In this review paper, a definitional boundary of the space of DCM…

Blanton, Hart; Jaccard, James – American Psychologist, 2006
Reducing the arbitrariness of a metric is distinct from the pursuit of validity, rational zero points, data transformations, standardization, and the types of statistical procedures one uses to analyze interval-level versus ordinal-level data. A variety of theoretical, methodological, and statistical tools can assist researchers who wish to make…

Lewis, Charles – Psychometrika, 1986
On the occasion of Psychometrika's fiftieth anniversary, the past twenty-five years' developments in mental test theory are reviewed. Psychometrika articles treating topics in test theory are listed in a bibliography. (Author/LMO)

Kubinger, Klaus D. – International Journal of Testing, 2005
In this article, we emphasize that the Rasch model is not only very useful for psychological test calibration but is also necessary if the number of solved items is to be used as an examinee's score. Simplified proof that the Rasch model implies specific objective parameter comparisons is given. Consequently, a model check per se is possible. For…

Fischer, Wyman E.; Dean, Raymond S. – 1987
Measures of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery (HRNB) were factor analyzed with subtests of the Halstead Category Test (HCT) for 277 9-year-old learning disabled subjects. Eight factors with eigenvalues greater than one were rotated to a final solution that accounted for 67.9 percent of the total variance. HCT-Subtest 1 loaded…

Dunn, Thomas G.; And Others – 1971
The feasibility of completely automating the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was tested, and item response latencies were compared with other MMPI item characteristics. A total of 26 scales were successfully scored automatically for 165 subjects. The program also typed a Mayo Clinic interpretive report on a computer terminal,…

Lord, Frederic M. – 1971
A simple, rigorous, small-sample statistical technique is described for testing the hypothesis that two sets of measurements differ only because of errors of measurement and because of differing origins and units of measurement. (Author)

Neimeyer, Robert A.; And Others – Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, 1977
A pair of related experiments examined the psychometric properties on the Threat Index (TI), a theoretically based scale for the assessment of threat of death. The high reliability of the TI suggested its functioning as an index of stable conceptual orientation toward death. (Author)

Kristof, Walter – Psychometrika, 1973
Paper is concerned with the hypothesis that two variables have a perfect disattenuated correlation, hence measure the same trait except for errors of measurement. (Author/RK)

Levine, Michael V. – 1982
Significant to a latent trait or item response theory analysis of a mental test is the determination of exactly what is being quantified. The following are practical problems to be considered in the formulation of a good theory: (1) deciding whether two tests measure the same trait or traits; (2) analyzing the relative contributions of a pair of…

Tuttle, Thomas C.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1972
The study attempted to demonstrate significant relationships between systematically derived occupational descriptors and selected measures of worker characteristics in the affective domain. The predictor variables were derived from the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI) and consisted of work-dimension scores describing occupations in terms of…

Cunningham, J. W. – 1972
Ergometrics, the application of psychometric principles and procedures to the study of human work, draws from theories and principles of human behavior as well as from established procedures in psychological measurement and job analysis. The project described employs ergometrics to describe, compare, and group occupations for educational purposes.…
