Consequently, they were not subjected to modern psychometric approaches, including study of domain definitions, item context and difficulty, time frame, response options, clarity, importance, or information content.
This study examines the psychometrics of the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales (parent report) using a modern psychometric approach (i.e., Rasch analysis) to determine if further insight regarding the behavior of the measure can be gained using a modern approach.
Thus modern psychometric methods based upon the work of Rasch provide a useful approach to the calibration and analysis of EMQ undergraduate medical assessments.

No study has systematically examined, through modern psychometric approach, whether physicians are able to properly use the Medical Research Council grades.
Using data derived from patients undergoing treatment for stress-related exhaustion/burnout, the current study has that, for the modern psychometric perspective of Rasch analysis, the PGWBI satisfies model expectations at both the individual subscale level, and the 22 item level, having accommodated local response dependency where necessary.
In order to facilitate interpretation of change scores on an individual level, modern psychometric methods such as Rasch analysis could be used in future studies [ 44].
It will also be necessary to carry out large cross-national studies in the future in order to use modern psychometric methods based on Item Response Theory (IRT), which will permit the testing of differential item functioning across cultures and inform the degree to which cross-national comparisons can be validly made.
This study is at the forefront of applying modern psychometric techniques to the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, a scale widely used to assess meaning in life.
Surprisingly, no study has systematically examined the appropriateness of the MRC scale using modern psychometric techniques.
