Conditional Reasoning: An Integrated Approach to Item Analysis
回顾了James在条件推理测验中使用的项目分析方法，并整合经典测验理论与项目反应理论，提出新的测试开发协议和整合分析框架，帮助研究者更精准地修订测验项目。
This article provides a review of the approach that James used when conducting item analyses on his conditional reasoning test items. That approach was anchored in classical test theory. Our article extends this work in two important ways. First, we offer a set of test development protocols that are tailored to the unique nature of conditional reasoning tests. Second, we further extend James’s approach by integrating his early test validation protocols (based on classical test theory) with more recent protocols (based on item response theory). We then apply our integrated item analytic framework to data collected on James’s first test, the conditional reasoning test for relative motive strength. We illustrate how this integrated approach furnishes additional diagnostic information that may allow researchers to make more informed and targeted revisions to an initial set of items.
