Item Response Theory for Psychologists (Multivariate Applications Series)

While both authors are well respected on this topic, the book leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, the spine has an extra "RY" on it, making it look like the title of the book is "Item Response Theory ry..." The typos continue inside the book. So many that if I wasn't an expert already, I'd have trouble following. Thankfully, I was just looking for a more concise overview, but I'm not sure this book can be trusted. It's a shame because the organization and goal of the book are both good, but this needs to be copy edited again, and updated and corrected.

This is a newly opening area of academic research shifting the conversation from classical testing theory.

This book is excellent. Well written, very accessible, and at some points, kind of fun to read (I just declared my nerd status. Mic dropped....and picked back up).I think this is an excellent resource for learning more about item response theory and I would honestly buy it rather than rent it. You'll probably want to read it again if you're doing anything in the vein of IRT or scale analyses.

Great book on IRT. If you are trying to learn IRT, and you have some knowledge of basic statistics & scale development, this is the perfect book for you!

This is really a great book for people learning about IRT. It is clear and easy to understand. I'm currently taking a class and this has become one of my go to books when I don't feel I understand something from the lecture.

Really good book for those learning IRT. It is easy to follow and there are good references and examples used throughout the book. I would definitely recommend this as a companion to other, more technical, IRT books.

Could they have written this book in a more sophisticated and complex language? One of those instances that you can totally judge a book by its cover.

This is a great book for anyone new to the field or for an experienced psychometrician to keep as a reference. The models are easy to understand.

It's a must-read for any psychometrician who wants to approach the topic of IRT with a deeper understanding than the one typically provided by the introductory textbooks on psychological measurement.

ケンブリッジ大学の研究者から勧められました。英語は平易で、困難なく読み進められます。構成も見事です。心理学者の書いた本ですが、数値計算についても触れられています。ただし、具体的な計算については、本書出版時点からいろいろと進歩がありますので、ここは参考にとどめたほうがよいでしょう。
