“A Method for Modeling Response Styles on Likert-Type Items” Carl Falk, McGill Psychology The use of Likert-type items is pervasive throughout the social and behavioral sciences (e.g., rate your agreement to a statement on a scale from 0 – Disagree to 4 – Agree). However, individuals sometimes perceive and use the scale in different ways. In this talk, I present an item response theory model capable of modeling multiple response styles across multiple constructs of interest. Some features of this model include the ability for researchers to: 1) Flexibly determine how response styles are defined, 2) Test whether modeling particular response styles improves model fit, 3) Obtain scores for participants on the constructs of interest and response styles, and 4) Test for group differences in the response styles or substantive constructs. Comparisons with sum score-based approaches, and recent extensions to multilevel data will be briefly presented. Time permitting, I will also discuss my recent/future work on estimation of flexible item response functions.
