DEVELOPING A PSYCHOMETRIC RULER: AN ALTERNATIVE PRESENTATION OF RASCH MEASUREMENT OUTPUT
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods - Year 2013, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Rasch measurement is one of the most popular analytical techniques available in the field of psychometrics.

The purpose of this paper is to respond to this problem by presenting an alternative method for reporting results that is arguably more user-friendly and easily interpretable by consumers of research.
