Basic Structure Content Scaling.

Jackson, Douglas N.; Helmes, Edward

Applied Psychological Measurement, v3 n3 p313-25 Sum 1979

A basic structure approach is proposed for obtaining multidimensional scale values for attitude, achievement, or personality items from response data. The technique permits the unconfounding of scale values due to response bias and content and partitions item indices of popularity or difficulty among a number of relevant dimensions. (Author/BH)
