Bayesian Item Response Modeling in R with brms and Stan (2019, background): “Differential item functioning For psychometric tests, it is essential to investigate differential item functioning (DIF; Holland and Wainer 1993; Osterlind and Everson 2009).”
Initial Adult Health Item Banks and First Wave Testing of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS™) Network: 2005–2008 (2010, unknown): “Nine items exhibited statistically significant DIF, one with respect to gender and the others with respect to age.”
The Statistical Analysis of Roll Call Data (2004, background): “By way of analogy, consider standardized test items that (say, due to cultural biases) are suspected to be easier for group A than for group B: a phenomenon known as differential item functioning (DIF); e.g., see Holland and Wainer (1993).”
Accent, listening assessment and the potential for a shared-L1 advantage: A DIF perspective (2012, background): “The focal group is considered the ‘group of interest’, and the reference group is the group with whom performance is being compared (Holland & Wainer, 1993, p. xv).”
Item Response Theory—A Statistical Framework for Educational and Psychological Measurement (2021, unknown): “Many statistical procedures have been developed for DIF analysis; see Holland and Wainer (1993) and Roussos and Stout (2004) for a review.”
Odds Ratio, Delta, ETS Classification, and Standardization Measures of DIF Magnitude for Binary Logistic Regression (2007, unknown): “Keywords: differential item functioning; logistic regression; effect sizes In differential item functioning (DIF) analyses, groups are compared on item performance after adjusting for overall performance on the measured trait (Holland & Wainer, 1993).”
Flexible Imputation of Missing Data (2012, background): “The inclusion of such covariates allows for various forms of differential item functioning (Holland and Wainer, 1993).”
CAUSATION AND RACE (2003, background): “Having been heavily involved in the study of item and test bias (Holland & Wainer, 1993), I long ago rejected the view that a simple difference in mean scores on tests or items for different groups of examinees implies that the test or items are biased.”
Congruence between social values and implicit motives: effects on life satisfaction across three cultures (2006, unknown): “…(construct measured is not identical across groups), method bias (sources of bias that relate to test administration; see Hofer & Chasiotis, 2004), and item bias (differential item functioning; see Holland & Wainer, 1993) as three major types of bias that relate to different levels of equivalence.”
