Lee, HyeSun; Smith, Weldon; Martinez, Angel; Ferris, Heather; Bova, Joe – Applied Measurement in Education, 2021
The aim of the current research was to provide recommendations to facilitate the development and use of anchoring vignettes (AVs) for cross-cultural comparisons in education. Study 1 identified six factors leading to order violations and ties in AV responses based on cognitive interviews with 15-year-old students. The factors were categorized into…

Abulela, Mohammed A. A.; Rios, Joseph A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2022
When there are no personal consequences associated with test performance for examinees, rapid guessing (RG) is a concern and can differ between subgroups. To date, the impact of differential RG on item-level measurement invariance has received minimal attention. To that end, a simulation study was conducted to examine the robustness of the…

Wise, Steven L.; Gao, Lingyun – Applied Measurement in Education, 2017
There has been an increased interest in the impact of unmotivated test taking on test performance and score validity. This has led to the development of new ways of measuring test-taking effort based on item response time. In particular, Response Time Effort (RTE) has been shown to provide an assessment of effort down to the level of individual…
