Exploring the Associations of Cultural Intelligence with Culturally Responsive Teaching Self Efficacy, Relevant Experiences, and Job Satisfaction in a sample of White American Teachers
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)The idea of being “culturally intelligent” has become an established concept in the corporate world and now, more recently, moved into the realm of education. The most relevant questions for educators remain: How do some ... -
Within-Item Interactions in Bifactor Models for Ordered-Categorical Item Responses
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)Recent research in multidimensional item response theory has introduced within-item interaction effects between latent dimensions in the prediction of item responses. The objective of this study was to extend this research ... -
The Role of Cultural Identity in Language Learning for International Students in the United States
(University of Kansas, 2019-05-31)As the number of international students in the United States increases, more and more researchers show interest in discovering how international students adapt to the local society and what factors influence this process. ... -
Development of self-control in early childhood— a growth mixture modeling approach
(Cogent OA, 2018-11-04)Self-control emerges in early childhood and is shown to be strongly related to poor adulthood outcomes. The development of self-control was long believed to be homogeneous among individuals and stable in rank. The purpose ... -
APPLYING PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION TO ESTIMATE PSYCHOMETRIC MODELS WITH CATEGORICAL RESPONSES
(University of Kansas, 2018-5-31)Current psychometrics tend to model response data hypothesized to arise from multiple attributes. As a result, the estimation complexity has been greatly increased so that traditional approaches such as the expected-maximization ... -
Evaluation of Attribute Structure for a Dynamic Assessment Using the Loglinear Cognitive Diagnosis Model and Bayesian Networks
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)In the field of assessment, the construction of a test is critical in matters of pinpointing the use and purpose of the test, the models to be used to generate results, and the inferences that can be made from the test ... -
Youth—Adult Partnerships in an Out-of-School-Time Program: An Exploration of Power, Safety, and Respect
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Today’s youth are not being effectively prepared to navigate school, work, and life as adults (e.g., Symonds, Schwartz, & Ferguson, 2011). Where schools have fallen short in their preparatory capacities, out-of-school-time ... -
Modeling Dyadic Relationships within Social Networks: Latent Interdependence Models and Latent Non-Independence Models
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)Relational data in social networks reflect information regarding relationship constructs and the characteristics of networks. Traditional approaches in social network analysis (e.g., the p* models and the latent space ... -
Growth Modeling in a Diagnostic Classification Model (DCM) Framework
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)A multivariate longitudinal DCM is developed that is the composite of two components, the log-linear cognitive diagnostic model (LCDM) as the measurement model component that evaluates the mastery status of attributes at ... -
Comparing Bayesian parametric and semiparametric estimation of nonlinear relationships in structural equation models with ordinal data
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)The Bayesian parametric and semiparametric approaches are compared to recover the polynomial and nonpolynomial relationships among latent factors in the structural equation model (SEM). In earlier studies, the semiparametric ... -
Utilizing Multidimensional Item Response Theory to Examine Social Capital
(University of Kansas, 2018-12-31)This study introduces the use of mixed-format multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) analysis for assessing the latent factor structure of the Social Capital Rating Scale (SCRS). The rating scale, an instrument ... -
MMPI-2-RF HIGHER ORDER PATHOLOGY OF PHYSICIANS IN DISTRESS
(University of Kansas, 2017-08-31)Modern theories of psychopathology incorporate a higher-order approach to conceptualization (e.g., Krueger & Tackett, 2003). These theories are often characterized as having internalizing, externalizing, and thought disorder ... -
Adolescent Development in Context: Social, Psychological, and Neurological Foundations
(University of Kansas Libraries, 2019)Increasingly, there is a tendency to characterize the teenage years as a time of general moral degeneration and deviance. This is unfortunate because the teenage years represent a key developmental period of the typical ... -
Educator-Targeted Bullying: Cross-Cultural Perspective
(University of Kansas, 2018-05-31)Past research normally focused on students bullying their peers. Systematic research has not been conducted targeting students’ various bullying behaviors against teachers. The current study focused on understanding the ... -
Evaluating Model Estimation Processes for Diagnostic Classification Models
(University of Kansas, 2018-05-31)Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) are a class of models that define respondent ability on a set of predefined categorical latent variables. In recent years, the popularity of these models has begun to increase. As ... -
Finding Item-Level Causes of Differential Item Functioning: A Hierarchical IRT Model for Explaining DIF
(University of Kansas, 2018-05-31)This research explored the effectiveness of using a hierarchical 2-PL item response theory (IRT) model to explain differential item functioning (DIF) according to item-level features. Explaining DIF in terms of variance ... -
The Impact of Homogeneity of Answer Choices on Item Difficulty and Discrimination
(Turkish Journal of Education, 2018-02-14)This study explored the impact of homogeneity of answer choices on item difficulty and discrimination. Twenty-two matched pairs of elementary and secondary mathematics items were administered to randomly equivalent samples ... -
The Translation and Translation Verification of the PIRLS Reading Questionnaires for Saudi Students
(University of Kansas, 2017-05-31)When translating psychological measures from their original language to another language, after translation an assumption is made that the measurement assesses the same construct(s) in the original language and for those ... -
Local Optima in Diagnostic Classification Models
(University of Kansas, 2017-12-31)A Monte Carol simulation study was used to investigate the prevalence of local optima in Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) under multiple conditions. Five variables were manipulated, including model constraints, ... -
Modeling Panelist Consistency in Bookmark Standard-Setting Studies
(University of Kansas, 2017-12-31)The purpose of this study is to develop a psychometrics of standard-setting for the Bookmark standard-setting procedure. Using simulated and real data, the error variance of Bookmark cutscores is modeled as a function of ...
