The performance of multiple imputation in questionnaire data has been studied in various
simulation studies. However, in practice, questionnaire data are usually more complex than
simulated data. For example, items may be counterindicative or may have unacceptably low
factor loadings on every subscale, or completely missing subscales may complicate
computations. In this article, it was studied how well multiple imputation recovered the
results of several psychometrically important statistics in a data set with such properties …
The performance of multiple imputation in questionnaire data has been studied in various simulation studies. However, in practice, questionnaire data are usually more complex than simulated data. For example, items may be counterindicative or may have unacceptably low factor loadings on every subscale, or completely missing subscales may complicate computations. In this article, it was studied how well multiple imputation recovered the results of several psychometrically important statistics in a data set with such properties. Analysis of this data set revealed that multiple imputation was able to recover the results of these analyses well. Also, a simulation study showed that multiple imputation produced small bias in these statistics for simulated data sets with the same properties.
