Different item functioning probably reveals

  • A.Administration bias
  • B.Construct bias
  • C.Interpretation bias
  • D.Predictive bias

Answer: B

Differential item functioning means people of equal ability from different groups have different chances of passing an item. That points to a bias in the construct the item taps, because the item measures something besides the intended trait for one group.

Administration bias comes from differences in how a test is given. Interpretation bias is about the meaning drawn from scores in different groups. Predictive bias occurs when a test predicts a criterion differently across groups. None of those is what item-level functioning differences show.
