Abstract: | Using Lumsden’s Thurstonian fluctuation model as a starting point, this paper attempts to develop a unidimensional item response
theory model intended for binary personality items. Under some additional assumptions, a new model is obtained in which the
item characteristic curves are defined by a cumulative Pearson-Type-VII distribution, and the person response curves are two-parameter
normal ogives. Procedures for fitting the new model are proposed. Furthermore, the relations between individual fluctuation
and scalability are discussed, and a scalability index based on the new model is proposed. All the developments in this paper
are illustrated using two empirical examples. |
