Multidimensional Rasch Measurement via Item Component Models and Faceted Designs.

Peer reviewed

Rost, Jurgen; Carstensen, Claus H. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2002

Developed a multidimensional Rasch model that is a multidimensional extension of item component models and determined relations to existing multidimensional item response theory models. Applied the model to a questionnaire on students' interest in physics to demonstrate that model parameters can be estimated even when 17 latent dimensions are to…

Measuring Attitudes with a Threshold Model Drawing on a Traditional Scaling Concept.

Peer reviewed

Rost, Jurgen – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1988

A generalized Rasch model is presented for measuring attitudes; it is based on the concepts of Thurstone's method of successive intervals. Benefits of the model are illustrated with a study of students' (N=4,035 fifth through ninth graders) interest in physics. (SLD)
