Gender Differential Item Functioning in Slovak Version of Intelligence Structure Test 2000 - Revised

Abstract

Abstract:The study focused on the gender differential item functioning in Slovak version of the Intelligence Structure Test 2000 -Revised (Amthauer et al., 2011). The sample included 744 middle and high school students with mean age of 16.94 years. The non-parametric method SIBTEST for identification of items with differential functioning was used in order to detect uniform and non-uniform DIF. The analysis showed that the I-S-T 2000 R includes several items with DIF favoring either males or females, but in most subtests, with no or small effect on differences between genders. Substantial but nonsignificant effect of DIF items on subtest score was found for Verbal Analogy, which contained six items with DIF all favoring females. These items included verbal content related to areas more common for females such as diet or food. The results suggest that specific content of verbal intelligence items can be a potential source of gender bias.

Prieniky a odlišnosti v kognitívno-osobnostnom profile a tlmočníckom výkone profesionálov a študentov

“…Dotazník BFI-2 od dvojice autorov Soto -John (2017) predstavuje druhú, modifikovanú verziu Inventára Veľkej päťky (Big Five Inventory -BFI) a v súčasnosti patrí medzi novšie psychologické nástroje na diagnostiku osobnosti (Kohút -Halama -Žitný, 2019). Tzv.…”

“…BFI-2 je spoľahlivý nástroj na meranie osobnosti určený pre normálnu populáciu. Vnútorná konzistencia domén a facetov je vyhovujúca v pôvodnej aj slovenskej verzii (Kohút -Halama -Žitný, 2019).…”

Hierarchical Diagnostic Classification Modeling of Reading Comprehension

“…Their findings showed invariance of item calibrations across males and females. In addition, Kohút et al (2016) focused on gender DIF in intelligence grammar test and reported that specific content of verbal intelligence items can probably be a source of gender DIF. However, the most recent studies by Ravand (2018) and revealed no gender DIF patterns in the Iranian University Entrance Examination (IUEE) for applicants of English Bachelor's Programs.…”

Calibración de un banco de Ítems mediante el modelo de Rasch para medir razonamiento numérico, verbal y espacial

“…Por un lado, existen estudios que postulan que no habría diferencias (Halpern, Beninger, & Straight, 2011;Sternberg, 2014). Por otro, hay estudios que muestran que, mientras los hombres suelen tener, en general, un mejor rendimiento en la mayoría de las medidas de inteligencia (Spinath et al, 2010), las mujeres suelen destacarse en las pruebas de dominio verbal (Kohút, Halama, Dockal, & Zitný, 2016). En este sentido, Ackerman (2006) encontró que estudios empíricos demostraron que dichas diferencias dependerán de la operacionalización del contenido con la que se construyó el instrumento de medición.…”
