• Item response theory and clinical measurement. (2009, background): “A second type is known as Mokken scaling (Sijtsma & Molenaar 2002).”
• Historical Perspectives on Invariant Measurement: Guttman, Rasch, and Mokken (2008, methodology): “Mokken's nonparametric IRT models … have been successfully applied to the measurement of a wide variety of latent traits in the domains of psychology, sociology, education, political science, medical research, and marketing ( Sijtsma and Molenaar, 2002 , p.”
• Proposals for the measurement of individual social capital (2003, methodology): “As an IRT method that makes few assumptions, we used the non-parametric Mokken scale analysis (Mokken 1997, Sijtsma and Molenaar 2002), implemented in the MSP program (Molenaar et al. 2000).”
• Item Response Theory—A Statistical Framework for Educational and Psychological Measurement (2021, unknown): “Specifically, Mokken scale analysis (Mokken, 1971; Mokkan and Lewis, 1982; Sijtsma and Molenaar, 2002), a pioneer work on non-parametric IRT, is developed under this regime.”
• Position Generator measures and their relationship to other Social Capital measures (2008, methodology): “Therefore, we chose to perform explorative analyses with non-parametric cumulative ‘Mokken’-scaling analyses (Mokken, 1996; Sijtsma & Molenaar, 2002) with special software MSP (Molenaar & Sijtsma, 2000), for all sets of social capital measurement items in the SSND data.”
• Math Anxiety Questionnaire: Similar Latent Structure in Brazilian and German School Children (2012, methodology): “Mokken scaling is based on the MonotoneHomogeneityModel (MHM, [27–29]).”
• A Note on Stochastic Ordering of the Latent Trait Using the Sum of Polytomous Item Scores (2010, methodology): “models (for an overview see, e.g., Junker & Sijtsma, 2001; Sijtsma & Molenaar, 2002 ).”
• The psychometric evaluation of a questionnaire to measure attitudes towards inclusive education (2012, methodology): “The diagnostics are summarized into so-called criteria values, where a value ≥80 strongly suggests assumption violation, values between 40 and 80 are questionable, and values of ≤40 are satisfying (Sijtsma and Molenaar 2002).”
• Dimensionality assessment of ordered polytomous items with parallel analysis. (2011, methodology): “Therefore, it would be much more interesting to consider a nonparametric model, like the Mokken model (Mokken, 1971; Sijtsma & Molenaar, 2002), as an alternative model to study the robustness of PA.”
