“…DIF may occur when two groups of examinees (e.g., males and females) with the same latent ability, or primary dimension, differ in secondary dimension (Roussos & Stout, 1996a). SIBTETS can detect uniform as well as nonuniform DIF (Li & Stout, 1996). Additionally, SIBTEST can analyze different functioning of more items as one item set for accessing differential bundle functioning (DBF).…”

Abstract:The study focused on the gender differential item functioning in Slovak version of the Intelligence Structure Test 2000 -Revised (Amthauer et al., 2011). The sample included 744 middle and high school students with mean age of 16.94 years. The non-parametric method SIBTEST for identification of items with differential functioning was used in order to detect uniform and non-uniform DIF. The analysis showed that the I-S-T 2000 R includes several items with DIF favoring either males or females, but in most subtests, with no or small effect on differences between genders. Substantial but nonsignificant effect of DIF items on subtest score was found for Verbal Analogy, which contained six items with DIF all favoring females. These items included verbal content related to areas more common for females such as diet or food. The results suggest that specific content of verbal intelligence items can be a potential source of gender bias.

“…These included iterative purification procedures under various conditions: (a) different matching criteria, (b) different analytic units (i.e., item-, bundle-, or testlet-level), and (c) different assumptions about tests' dimensional structures (e.g., Gierl, Bisanz, Bisanz, Boughton, & Khaliq, 2001;Mazor, Kanjee, & Clauser, 1995;Oshima, Raju & Flowers, 1997;Wainer, 1995). Furthermore, variations of the aforementioned procedures were developed to study non-uniform DIF (Li & Stout, 1996). Additionally, the literature includes numerous comparison studies that used older DIF procedures, such as STAND, SIBTEST, MH, item response theory (IRT) based, and logistic regression, (Chang, Mazzeo, & Roussos, 1996;de Ayala, Kim, Stapleton, & Dayton, 2002;Zwick, Thayer, & Mazzeo, 1997).…”

In many practical settings, essentially the same differential item functioning (DIF) procedures have been in use since the late 1980s. Since then, examinee populations have become more heterogeneous, and tests have included more polytomously scored items. This paper summarizes and classifies new DIF methods and procedures that have appeared since the early 1990s and assesses their appropriateness for practical use. Widely used DIF methods are evaluated alongside these new methods for completeness, clarity, and comparability.

“…Differential item functioning refers to undifferentiation of item characteristic curves and possibilities of correct answers for items in groups in situations when ability is examined (Clauser & Mazor, 1988;Li & Stout, 1996;Naranayan & Swaminathan, 1996). Item characteristic curves graphically demonstrate the possibilities related to responses that an individual with a specific level of ability may provide (Hambleton & Swaminathan, 1985).…”
