Item response theory and clinical measurement. (2009, background): “Moreover, Reise et al. (2007) demonstrated the appropriateness of bifactor IRT for multifaceted health outcomes data.”
A Tutorial on Interpreting Bifactor Model Scores (2013, background): “Reise, Moore, and Haviland (2010) and Reise, Morizot, and Hays (2007) contended that observed (number correct or scaled transformations of number correct) subscale scores are misleading when loadings on the general factor are high and loadings on the specific factors are low.”
Evaluating the Perceived Stress Scale among UK university students: implications for stress measurement and management (2019, methodology): “Bifactor modelling assessed whether the PSS-10 was sufficiently unidimensional to warrant the use of total scores, and examined the additional contribution of orthogonal factors to specific scale items (Reise, Morizot, and Hays 2007).”
Are Fit Indices Biased in Favor of Bi-Factor Models in Cognitive Ability Research?: A Comparison of Fit in Correlated Factors, Higher-Order, and Bi-Factor Models via Monte Carlo Simulations (2015, methodology): “Subsequently, the bi-factor model has been recommended by Reise [25] for CFA and successfully employed in the measurement of a variety of constructs, such as cognitive ability [22], health outcomes [26], quality of life [27], psychiatric distress [28], early academic skills [29], personality [30], p”
Modeling Differential Item Functioning Using a Generalization of the Multiple-Group Bifactor Model (2013, background): “For instance, Reise, Morizot, and Hays (2007) suggested the bifactor model for checking the dimensionality of measurement instruments.”
Bifactor Models and Rotations: Exploring the Extent to which Multidimensional Data Yield Univocal Scale Scores (2010, positive): “Thus, given that the factor analytic model easily can be transformed into an IRT model, Reise, Morizot, and Hays (2007) and Reise, Cook, and Moore (2010) proposed that in any application of a unidimensional IRT model, a corresponding bifactor IRT model should be reported so that reviewers can more…”
The Tinnitus Functional Index: Development of a New Clinical Measure for Chronic, Intrusive Tinnitus (2012, methodology): “At this point, we look forward to doing a confirmatory factor analysis as well as a bifactor analysis (Reise et al. 2007), which may be even better at allowing us to determine whether one general factor underlies the 25-item TFI, with some subscales also having a specific factor and some subscales n”
