Item response theory (IRT) has moved beyond the confines of
educational measurement into assessment domains such as
personality, psychopathology, and patient-reported outcomes.
Classic and emerging IRT methods and applications that are
revolutionizing psychological measurement, particularly for health
assessments used to demonstrate treatment effectiveness, are
reviewed in this new volume. World renowned contributors present
the latest research and methodologies about these models along with
their applications and related challenges. Examples using real
data, some from NIH-PROMIS, show how to apply these models in
actual research situations. Chapters review fundamental issues of
IRT, modern estimation methods, testing assumptions, evaluating
fit, item banking, scoring in multidimensional models, and advanced
IRT methods. New multidimensional models are provided along with
suggestions for deciding among the family of IRT models available.
Each chapter provides an introduction, describes state-of-the art
research methods, demonstrates an application, and provides a
summary. The book addresses the most critical IRT conceptual and
statistical issues confronting researchers and advanced students in
psychology, education, and medicine today. Although the chapters
highlight health outcomes data the issues addressed are relevant to
any content domain. The book addresses: IRT models applied to
non-educational data especially patient reported outcomes
Differences between cognitive and non-cognitive constructs and the
challenges these bring to modeling. The application of
multidimensional IRT models designed to capture typical performance
data. Cutting-edge methods for deriving a single latent dimension
from multidimensional data A new model designed for the measurement
of constructs that are defined on one end of a continuum such as
substance abuse Scoring individuals under different
multidimensional IRT models and item banking for patient-reported
health outcomes How to evaluate measurement invariance, diagnose
problems with response categories, and assess growth and change.
Part 1 reviews fundamental topics such as assumption testing,
parameter estimation, and the assessment of model and person fit.
New, emerging, and classic IRT models including modeling
multidimensional data and the use of new IRT models in typical
performance measurement contexts are examined in Part 2. Part 3
reviews the major applications of IRT models such as scoring, item
banking for patient-reported health outcomes, evaluating
measurement invariance, linking scales to a common metric, and
measuring growth and change. The book concludes with a look at
future IRT applications in health outcomes measurement. The book
summarizes the latest advances and critiques foundational topics
such a multidimensionality, assessment of fit, handling
non-normality, as well as applied topics such as differential item
functioning and multidimensional linking. Intended for researchers,
advanced students, and practitioners in psychology, education, and
medicine interested in applying IRT methods, this book also serves
as a text in advanced graduate courses on IRT or measurement.
Familiarity with factor analysis, latent variables, IRT, and basic
measurement theory is assumed.
