Development of main effect DIF and interactive DIF detection method in cognitive diagnosis assessments
摘要: 在认知诊断评估中, 项目功能差异(DIF)检测是评估其测验公平性以及测量效度的重要技术手段。然而, 现有的认知诊断DIF检测方法局限于单一协变量视角下的主效应DIF检测, 对于由多个协变量交互作用引发的交互式DIF尚缺乏有效的检测手段。针对这一局限, 研究借鉴递归分割技术的核心思想, 提出了一种能够在认知诊断评估中同时检测主效应DIF和交互式DIF的新方法(记为ISRPM)。模拟研究结果表明, ISRPM不仅在主效应DIF检测中的整体表现与传统方法大体相当, 更重要的是, 其在交互式DIF检测方面的性能表现优于传统方法。实证研究则进一步支持了该方法的可用性, 结果显示, ISRPM与传统DIF检测方法在检测结果上具有较高一致性, 并在识别交互式DIF方面展现出潜在优势。总体而言, ISRPM的提出有望进一步提升认知诊断DIF检测精度, 并促进认知诊断评估在心理与教育测评实践中的推广与应用
