Treatments of Differential Item Functioning: A Comparison of Four Methods
Liu, Xiaowen; Jane Rogers, H.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v82 n2 p225-253 Apr 2022
Test fairness is critical to the validity of group comparisons involving gender, ethnicities, culture, or treatment conditions. Detection of differential item functioning (DIF) is one component of efforts to ensure test fairness. The current study compared four treatments for items that have been identified as showing DIF: deleting, ignoring, multiple-group modeling, and modeling DIF as a secondary dimension. Results of this study provide indications about which approach could be applied for items showing DIF for a wide range of testing environments requiring reliable treatment.
