Over the past decade, Mokken scale analysis (MSA) has rapidly grown in popularity among
researchers from many different research areas. This tutorial provides researchers with a set …

Mokken (1971) developed a scaling procedure for both dichotomous and polytomous items
that was later coined Mokken scale analysis (MSA). MSA has been developed ever since …

An automated item selection procedure in Mokken scale analysis partitions a set of items
into one or more Mokken scales, if the data allow. Two algorithms are available that pursue …

Mokken scale analysis (MSA) is a scaling procedure for both dichotomous and polytomous
items. It consists of an item selection algorithm to partition a set of items into Mokken scales …

Mokken scale analysis (MSA) is a probabilistic‐nonparametric approach to item response
theory (IRT) that can be used to evaluate fundamental measurement properties with less …

Background Mokken scaling techniques are a useful tool for researchers who wish to
construct unidimensional tests or use questionnaires that comprise multiple binary or …

Item response theory is a set of models and methods allowing for the analysis of binary or
ordinal variables (items) that are influenced by a latent variable or latent trait—that is, a …

Measurement in the social sciences often refers to standardized answers to close-ended
questions, in which answers are analyzed as if they were measurements on an interval …

We explain why invariant item ordering (IIO) is an important property in non-cognitive
measurement and we discuss that IIO cannot be easily generalized from dichotomous data …

Aims. To demonstrate the principles and application of Mokken scaling. Background. The
history and development of Mokken scaling is described, some examples of applications are …
