Abstract

Differential item functioning (DIF) is present when something about the characteristics of a test taker interferes with the relationship between ability and item responses. Nonuniform DIF exists when there is interaction between ability level and group membership. The aim of the present study proposes a classification of nonuniform DIF severity grade, taking into account the family of Rasch models.
