The Rasch Model

Lifestyle plays an important role in determining health and vitality among older adults. However, there is limited evidence regarding lifestyle assessment. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Yonsei Lifestyle Profile-Satisfaction (YLP-S). The participants in the study included 156 older adults. Rasch analysis was used to test unidimensionality, fit statistics, and the precision of the YLP-S. The YLP-S demonstrated a unidimensional measurement construct, and 18 items fit the Rasch model. The YLP-S illustrated reasonable precision (person strata = 5.37). Only 4 items showed differential item functioning by sex or age groups. The findings indicate that the YLP-S demonstrated sound internal validity and can be used by health professionals to measure the multifaceted lifestyle of older adults.

This paper details the development and validation of a listening self-efficacy instrument for EFL/ESL learners with beginner- to-intermediate-level English language proficiency. Self-efficacy, or the belief in one's ability to perform a task successfully, is believed to determine how likely individuals will be to cope with difficulties relating to the task domain (e.g., listening, speaking, reading, or writing), and to sustain their effort in spite of obstacles (Bandura, 1997). To date, few instruments have been developed to evaluate English L2 listening self-efficacy. The instrument presented here was distributed among a sample of first- and second-year Japanese university students (N = 121), and, unlike most previously developed questionnaires, was validated through the use of Rasch analysis. The results of the administration of the questionnaire showed that learners' responses differed predictably and considerably, thereby suggesting the utility of the instrument for future use by EFL/ESL practitioners.

Unidimensional Scale

Background: The multidimensional assessment of fatigue is complicated by the interrelation of its multiple causes and effects. Objective: The purpose of the research was to develop a unidimensional assessment of fatigue (U-FIS). Methods: Data collected with the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) were subjected to Rasch analysis to identify potential problems with the scale. Additional items for the U-FIS were generated from interviews with UK MS patients. The U-FIS was tested for face and content validity in patient interviews and included in a validation survey to determine dimensionality (Rasch model), reliability and validity. Results: The original FIS was not unidimensional when subscale items were combined. The modification of the FIS and addition of a number of items allowed the development of a 22-item unidimensional scale (U-FIS) that was reliable (Cronbach Alpha = 0.96; test-retest = 0.86,) and valid given correlations with the Nottingham Health Profile and ability to distinguish between MS severity groups. There was no significant difference in U-FIS scores according to MS type. Conclusion: It is valid to conceptualize the functional impact of fatigue as unidimensional. The U-FIS is a reliable and valid questionnaire that will allow the measurement of this construct in clinical studies.
