An Investigation of the Relationship Between Comlex-USA Licensure Examination Performance and State Licensing Board Disciplinary Actions
PURPOSE: Passing the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States (COMLEX-USA) serves as a licensing requirement, yet there is limited understanding between this high-stakes exam and performance outcomes. This study examined the relationship between COMLEX-USA scores and disciplinary actions received by osteopathic physicians. METHOD: Data for osteopathic physicians (N = 26,383) who graduated from medical school be…
Invariance on the NEO PI-R Neuroticism Scale
We explored between gender invariance on the NEO PI-R Neuroticism scale. Sörbom's (1974;1982) mean and covariance structural analysis was used to evaluate weak and strong forms of factorial invariance for the six facet scales when treated as indicators of a common neuroticism factor. Item response theory procedures were used to evaluate differential item functioning (DIF) within each of the six facets. The structural modeling results indicated th…
Gender differences on negative affectivity
Item response theory methods were used to study differential item functioning (DIF) between gender groups on a measure of stress reaction. Results revealed that women were more likely to endorse items describing emotional vulnerability and sensitivity, whereas men were more likely to endorse items describing tension, irritability, and being easily upset. Item factor analysis yielded 5 correlated factors, and the DIF analysis, in turn, revealed di…
