Stephen L. Wright; Michael A. Jenkins-Guarnieri – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
The current study sought out to advance the Social Self-Efficacy and Social Outcome Expectations scale using multiple approaches to scale development. Data from 583 undergraduate students were used in two scale development approaches: Classic Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT). Confirmatory factor analysis suggested a 2-factor…

Yasar, Metin – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2019
The main purpose of this study is to develop a perceived stress scale based on Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Graded Response Model (GRM); to compare the parameters of the items in the scale that are tried to be developed according to both models, and to determine under which theory the measurement tool produces more reliable and valid results…

Alqarni, Abdulelah Mohammed – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2019
This study compares the psychometric properties of reliability in Classical Test Theory (CTT), item information in Item Response Theory (IRT), and validation from the perspective of modern validity theory for the purpose of bringing attention to potential issues that might exist when testing organizations use both test theories in the same testing…

Shepard, Lorrie A. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2016
The AERA, APA, NCME Standards define validity as "the degree to which evidence and theory support the interpretations of test scores for proposed uses of tests". A century of disagreement about validity does not mean that there has not been substantial progress. This consensus definition brings together interpretations and use so that it…

Lee, Minji K.; Sweeney, Kevin; Melican, Gerald J. – Educational Assessment, 2017
This study investigates the relationships among factor correlations, inter-item correlations, and the reliability estimates of subscores, providing a guideline with respect to psychometric properties of useful subscores. In addition, it compares subscore estimation methods with respect to reliability and distinctness. The subscore estimation…
