Description

Recognised as the most influential publication in the field, ARM facilitates deep understanding of the Rasch model and its practical applications.

The authors review the crucial properties of the model and demonstrate its use with examples across the human sciences.

Readers will be able to understand and critically evaluate Rasch measurement research, perform their own Rasch analyses and interpret their results.

The glossary and illustrations support that understanding, and the accessible approach means that it is ideal for readers without a mathematical background.

Greater emphasis on the use of R packages; readers can download the R code from the Routledge website.

A new four-option data set from the IASQ (Instrumental Attitude towards Self-assessment Questionnaire) for the Rating Scale Model (RSM) analysis exemplar (Chapter 6). Clarifies the relationship between Rasch measurement, path analysis and SEM, with a host of new examples of Rasch measurement applied across health sciences, education and psychology (Chapter 10).

Intended as a text for graduate courses in measurement, item response theory, (advanced) research methods or quantitative analysis taught in psychology, education, human development, business, and other social and health sciences.
