The results showed that the 10-item ERQ was multidimensional and supported the two distinct factors. The reappraisal and suppression subscales were both found to be unidimensional and fit the Rasch model. No evidence of local dependence was observed. The five response categories also functioned as intended. Differential item functioning (DIF) was assessed across sub-samples defined by gender, self-report experiencing symptoms of mental illness, regular meditation practice, and age groupings. No evidence emerged of items functioning differently across any of these groups. Using Rasch measure scores, a number of meaningful group differences in person location emerged. Less use of reappraisal was reported by younger adults, non-meditators, and those reporting experiencing symptoms of mental illness.

To evaluate equating results, a new method is used to derive true linking coefficients. The results indicate that the characteristic curve methods produce more accurate and reliable equating results than the moment methods. Although using more anchor items or an anchor test configuration with more IRT parameters can lower the variability of equating results, neither of them help control equating bias.

It is especially useful in educational and medical settings to evaluate expertise and/or competence. In this paper, didactic exams were used to model fluency. Binned propensity matching with question difficulty and time intensity was used to define a 'load' variable and construct fluency (sum correct/ elapsed response time). Response surfaces as speed-accuracy tradeoffs resulted from the analysis. Person by load fluency matrices behaved well in Rasch analysis and warranted the definition of a person fluency variable ('skill'). A path model with skill and load as mediators substantially described the fluency data. The indirect paths through skill and load dominated direct variable effects. This is supportive evidence that skill and load have stand-alone merit. Therefore, it appears that the constructs of skill, load, and fluency could provide psychometrically defensible descriptors when utilized in appropriate contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":73608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied measurement","volume":"19 3","pages":"229-242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36451136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assessment tool included 11 close-ended and 8 open-ended items and its rubric. Two texts describing opposing views of the dispute of whether to continue the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant construction in Taiwan were developed and 1535 grade 5-9 students read these two texts in a counterbalanced order and answered the test items. First, the results showed that the Cronbach's values were more than .9, indicating very good intra-rater consistency. The Kendall coefficient of concordance of the inter-rater reliability was larger than .8, denoting a consistent scoring pattern between raters. Second, the analysis of many-facet Rasch measurement showed that there were significant difference in rater severity, and both severe and lenient raters could distinguish high versus low-ability students effectively. The comparison of the rating scale model and the partial credit model indicated that each rater had a unique rating scale structure, meaning that the rating procedures involve human interpretation and evaluation during the scoring processes so that it is difficult to reach a machine-like consistency level. However, this is in line with expectations of typical human judgment processes. Third, the Cronbach's coefficient of the full assessment were above .85, denoting that the SMTRCA has high internal-consistency. Finally, confirmatory factory analysis showed that there was an acceptable goodness-of-fit among the SMTRCA.
