Sometimes, measurement models are identical across groups in LCA. In other situations, the measurement models may differ, suggesting that the latent structure itself is different between groups. Tests of measurement invariance shed light on this distinction. We created an R package glca that implements procedures for exploring differences in latent class structure between populations, taking multilevel data structure into account. The glca package deals with the fixed-effect LCA and the nonparametric random-effect LCA; the former can be applied in the situation where populations are segmented by the observed group variable itself, whereas the latter can be used when there are too many levels in the group variable to make a meaningful group comparisons by identifying a group-level latent variable. The glca package consists of functions for statistical test procedures for exploring group differences in various LCA models considering multilevel data structure.","PeriodicalId":48300,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychological Measurement","volume":"46 5","pages":"439-441"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9265491/pdf/10.1177_01466216221084197.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10091269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article demonstrates how biometric information such as gaze fixation counts obtained from an eye-tracking machine can be integrated into the measurement model. The proposed joint modeling framework accommodates the relations among a test taker's latent ability, working speed and test engagement level via a person-side variance-covariance structure, while simultaneously permitting the modeling of item difficulty, time-intensity, and the engagement intensity through an item-side variance-covariance structure. A Bayesian estimation scheme is used to fit the proposed model to data. Posterior predictive model checking based on three discrepancy measures corresponding to various model components are introduced to assess model-data fit. Findings from a Monte Carlo simulation and results from analyzing experimental data demonstrate the utility of the model.","PeriodicalId":48300,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychological Measurement","volume":"46 5","pages":"361-381"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9265489/pdf/10.1177_01466216221089344.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10091266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The appropriateness and importance of the choice of links within the item response theory (IRT) framework has not been investigated yet. In this paper, we present a family of IRT models with generalized logit links, which include the traditional logistic and normal ogive models as special cases. This family of models are flexible enough not only to adjust the item characteristic curve tail probability by two shape parameters but also to allow us to fit the same link or different links to different items within the IRT model framework. In addition, the proposed models are implemented in the Stan software to sample from the posterior distributions. Using readily available Stan outputs, the four Bayesian model selection criteria are computed for guiding the choice of the links within the IRT model framework. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to examine the empirical performance of the proposed models and the model fittings in terms of \"in-sample\" and \"out-of-sample\" predictions based on the deviance. Finally, a detailed analysis of the real reading assessment data is carried out to illustrate the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":48300,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychological Measurement","volume":"46 5","pages":"382-405"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9265488/pdf/10.1177_01466216221089343.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10091271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the current item selection methods used in higher-order CD-CAT adaptively select items according to only the attribute profiles, which might lead to low precision regarding general abilities; hence, an appropriate method was proposed for this CAT system in this study. Under the framework of the higher-order models, the responses were affected by attribute profiles, which were governed by general abilities. It is reasonable to hold that the item responses were affected by a combination of general abilities and attribute profiles. Based on the logic of Shannon entropy and the generalized deterministic, inputs, noisy \"and\" gate (G-DINA) model discrimination index (GDI), two new item selection methods were proposed for higher-order CD-CAT by considering the above combination in this study. The simulation results demonstrated that the new methods achieved more accurate estimations of both general abilities and cognitive profiles than the existing methods and maintained distinct advantages in terms of item pool usage.","PeriodicalId":48300,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychological Measurement","volume":"46 5","pages":"422-438"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9265487/pdf/10.1177_01466216221089342.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10091270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such misspecification can lead to inconsistencies in the operational definition of \"mastery\" when binary skills models are assumed. In this paper we demonstrate the potential for an interpretational confounding of the latent skills when truly continuous skills are treated as binary. Using the DINA model as an example, we show how such forms of confounding can be observed through item and/or examinee parameter change when (1) different collections of items (such as representing different test forms) previously calibrated separately are subsequently calibrated together; and (2) when structural restrictions are placed on the relationships among skill attributes (such as the assumption of strictly nonnegative growth over time), among other possibilities. We examine these occurrences in both simulation and real data studies. It is suggested that researchers should regularly attend to the potential for interpretational confounding by studying differences in attribute mastery proportions and/or changes in item parameter (e.g., slip and guess) estimates attributable to skill continuity when the same samples of examinees are administered different test forms, or the same test forms are involved in different calibrations.","PeriodicalId":48300,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychological Measurement","volume":"46 4","pages":"303-320"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9118932/pdf/10.1177_01466216221084207.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9609918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
