“…In their study examining the psychometric properties of the Brief Resilience scale, Liu & Lim (2020) determined negligible gender-based DIF for the fifth and sixth items. In a study where the psychometric properties of the Resilience Scale (RS-25) were determined, it was examined whether the items showed DIF according to gender, and evidence was obtained that there was no DIF according to gender (Seong et al, 2023). In their study, Gorman and colleagues, (2021) determined DIF according to gender within the scope of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.…”

The concept of resilience encompasses various elements such as spirituality, cultural heritage, adverse life events, and family lineage. Due to this diversity, examining the items measuring resilience, which is one of the concepts evaluated within the scope of positive psychology, differential item function (DIF), is considered important in terms of revealing the structure. As well as determining DIF, there is a need to reveal the reasons for its sources. At this point, the variable intolerance of uncertainty, which is highly related to resilience, is addressed. In this context, the general purpose of this research is to examine whether the resilience scale items show DIF before and after the latent classes have been created within the scope of intolerance of uncertainty. The research, in which the Brief Resilience and Intolerance of Uncertainty scales were used, was conducted with 718 university students. In the first stage of data analyses, likelihood ratio, one of the DIF determination methods, was used. In the second stage, the latent class analysis was carried out to create latent classes within the scope of intolerance of uncertainty. According to the results of this research, all items within the scope of gender for the Brief Resilience scale show a middle level of DIF. Within the scope of Latent Class analysis, it was determined that the four- class model was compatible with the data. After the groups were formed, DIF was examined in terms of gender for the Brief Resilience scale within each group. DIF was not determined in any of the items in class 1 and class 4. However, in class 3, all items showed moderate DIF. It was determined that the DIF results changed after the created latent classes. All these results show that intolerance of uncertainty may be the source of DIF determined in resilience scale items. Therefore, it is recommended to study the interrelated variables together when studying DIF.

Purpose: This study evaluated the psychometric functioning of a new criterion-referenced assessment of adolescent social communication, the Transition Pragmatics Interview (TPI), based on the synthesis model of pragmatics. Two ways of interpreting item difficulty were explored: (a) as a function of the synthesis model elements of social communication ability that items were designed to assess, and (b) as a function of the developmental level required for a successful response based on an adapted situational-discourse-semantics (SDS) model (Norris & Hoffman, 1993). Method: Thirty-seven participants aged 14–22 years completed the TPI. Responses were analyzed using Rasch analysis to evaluate the functioning of the scale and to determine item difficulty. Items were coded for the SDS developmental level required for an adequate response. The mean Rasch item difficulty for items at each SDS developmental level was analyzed for the five adapted SDS domains. Results: Consistent with the first approach for interpreting item difficulty, TPI items varied in difficulty as a function of the element of social communication they were designed to assess ( p < .001). Interpreting item difficulty based on the adapted SDS model was not supported: Items requiring higher SDS developmental levels were not more difficult than those requiring less ( p = .55). Conclusions: The TPI responses fit the Rasch model, supporting the TPI as a unidimensional measure and supporting the use of all items together to compute a single number that summarizes the level of social communication for each examinee. The item ordering from least to most difficult was consistent with prior findings on adolescent social communication development. Supplemental Material: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.26018545
