Mixture Random-Effect IRT Models for Controlling Extreme Response Style on Rating Scales
Respondents are often requested to provide a response to Likert-type or rating-scale items during the assessment of attitude, interest, and personality to measure a variety of latent traits. Extreme response style (ERS), which is defined as a consistent and systematic tendency of a person to locate on a limited number of available rating-scale options, may distort the test validity. Several lat...
متن کاملModels for the Adjustment of Rating Scales
In a category rating experiment using a graded series of squares we changed both stimulus range and frequency during the experimental session. Range-frequency theory (Parducci, 1965; Parducci & Perrett, 1971; Parducci & Wedell, 1986) predicts the same rate of adjustment to the new stimulus range and to the new stimulus frequencies. Its closest competitor, consistency theory (Haubensak, 1992a, 1...
متن کاملVariations On A Rating Scale: The Effect On Extreme Response Tendency In Product Ratings
Product ratings have become an integral element of online businesses especially for experience goods, yet seem to be prone to biases that shift most of the distribution towards the extreme points of the scales. Response biases due to inherent traits (such as acquiescence or extreme response style) are widely investigated in survey design and marketing research, yet little is known about how the...
متن کاملCredit Rating Dynamics and Markov Mixture Models∗
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, credit migration matrices, used in many credit risk and pricing applications, are typically assumed to be generated by a simple Markov process. Based on empirical evidence we propose a parsimonious model that is a mixture of (two) Markov chains, where the mixing is on the speed of movement among credit ratings. We estimate this model using credit ratin...
متن کاملRating scales for neurologists.
Correspondence to: Dr Jeremy Hobart, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Peninsula Medical School, Derriford Hospital, Plymouth PL6 8DH, UK; Jeremy.Hobart@ phnt.swest.nhs.uk _________________________ A neurologist once told me that he found the subject of rating scales ‘‘exceedingly dull’’, while another found the area ‘‘abstruse’’. I have therefore attempted to produce an overview that is he...
