Abstract: Rapid guessing (RG) is a form of non-effortful responding that is characterized by short response latencies. This construct-irrelevant behavior has been shown in previous research to bias inferences concerning measurement properties and scores. To mitigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/01466216211051719
Abstract: An underlying threat to the validity of reliability measures is the introduction of systematic variance in examinee scores from unintended constructs that differ from those assessed. One construct-irrelevant behavior that has gained increased attention in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/01466216221108991
Abstract: Score equating is an essential tool in improving the fairness of test score interpretations when employing multiple test forms. To ensure that the equating functions used to connect scores from one form to another are… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/a16020089
Abstract: Rapid guessing is an aberrant response behavior that commonly occurs in low-stakes assessments with little to no formal consequences for students. Recently, the availability of response time (RT) information in computer-based assessments has motivated researchers… read more here.
