Disparities in self-reported geriatric depressive symptoms due to sociodemographic differences: An extension of the bi-factor item response theory model for use in differential item functioning
Journal of Psychiatric Research, 08/18/09
Yang FM et al. – Measurement noninvariance found in both the "crying" and "failure" items were attributable to women and to those aged 75 and older were trivial after controlling for the underlying level of depressive symptomatology. Therefore, the interpersonal items showed measurement noninvariance attributable to sex and race. The bi–factor MIMIC model is useful for examining measurement noninvariance due to sociodemographics in a multidimensional depression instrument.
