“…The technical challenges may be intimidating, but the sufficiency and necessity of Rasch's models [45,54] for integrating information across levels of complexity [50,55] is well established. The social challenges will likely be more difficult to overcome than the technical ones.…”

“…We have had in hand in psychology for decades mathematical proofs of sufficiency [45,54], experimental evidence of invariance [84], explanatory causal theories [85], and networks of instruments measuring in common units [26]. So why have economists and accountants been proposing models of human, social, natural, and manufactured capital for years-as alternatives to the traditional models of land, labour, and manufactured capital [86][87][88]-with no concomitant interest in the scientific measures needed to manage those stocks and flows?…”

“…On this occasion, there were about equal numbers of engineers and psychometricians presenting and in attendance, with over 70 registrations. The 2017 Joint Symposium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, again has a number of psychometric presentations on the program, including a keynote from David Andrich [41], an early leader in theoretical and practical developments in Rasch measurement [42][43][44][45].…”

Abstract. The vital roles of common languages, metrics, and standards in team-based innovation are well established. The historical success of science has depended extensively on mathematically rigorous, theoretically explained, experimentally evaluated, and socially distributed communications networks comprised of metrologically traceable measuring instruments. Recent descriptions of practical and theoretical correspondences between metrology and psychometrics extend scientific model-based reasoning into education and other fields. Realizing psychometrics' metrological potentials requires attending to interrelated ethical, technical, and social issues. First, measurement must embody the ethics of the Golden Rule in support of compassionate and tolerant comparisons. Technically, effective measurement systems involve (a) invariant units, with known uncertainties, (b) scientific laws modelling substantive relationships in the world, (c) hypotheses experimentally tested against data, (d) explanatory theories providing predictive control over the construct, and (e) methods for ensuring traceability to the standard unit. But to be effective, measurement systems incorporating these features will need to be situated in a larger social context cognizant of needs for the relevant standards bodies, educational programs and textbooks, professional societies, legal and regulatory oversight, accounting and economic applications, etc. Paraphrasing Rasch, the challenges are huge, but having formulated the problem, human ingenuity will likely find a way to solve it.

“…This can be justified by the fact that the person parameter and the item parameter of unidimensional Rasch models are independent (see, for example, Andrich, 2010), and that the Rasch models do not assume anything about the distribution of the sample of persons (see, for example, Andrich, 2004).…”

Many manufacturers wish to relate the physical properties of their products to customers' affective responses so that they can improve the design of their products. Rasch measurement theory is a novel approach in this context that could offer business benefits over other approaches. The aim of the research was to determine whether Rasch measurement theory can support the construction of a scale to measure the affective impression of a moisturizer cream elicited by the compliance of the moisturizer's packaging. The compliances of packaging used to develop a scale for the impression of the contents of the packaging in previous research were measured. New packaging prototypes were manufactured with a range of compliances to determine whether affective responses to them could be predicted. A new sample of sixty seven participants rated the prototypes against Likert statements on a five-point scale. The statements were derived from descriptions of the users' product experience. The scale was recalibrated using a multi-facet Rasch model. It was found that the affective responses to the prototypes fell within the range predicted by the original scale. The results demonstrate that Rasch measurement theory can be used to achieve the objective correspondence between affective responses and the physical properties of a product, and the information can be used in new product development.
