Multidimensionality and Item Bias in Item Response Theory.
Oshima, T. C.; Miller, M. David
Applied Psychological Measurement, v16 n3 p237-48 Sep 1992
How item bias indexes based on item response theory (IRT) identify bias that results from multidimensionality is demonstrated. Simulation results suggest that IRT-based bias indexes detect multidimensional items with bias but do not detect multidimensional items without bias. They also do not confound between-group differences on the primary test. (SLD)
