Differential Item Performance in Mathematics Achievement Test Items: Effect of Item Arrangement.
Plake, Barbara S.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v48 n4 p885-94 Win 1988
The effect of item context on differential item performance based on gender on mathematics test items was studied, using 404 male and 375 female adults. The analyses were based on a modified one-parameter item response theory methodology. Gender differences emerged; however, they may be due to chance. (TJH)
