Domain scores were initially calculated as the mean of the standardized factor weighted item scores, to both account for differing item reliabilities and reduce the inconsistency due to differing numbers of items and response options across domains.
Although our study results did not provide clear evidence regarding the effect of students' majors, the fact that three studies in the same country Matsuda and Gobel (2004), Yashima et al. (2009), and this study—had differing numbers of factors and different constituent factor items suggests that other differences are at play.
In the case of social security, differing states have differing population sizes and differing numbers of retirees, complicating the allocation of spending between states.
As there is a different number of items per above-mentioned category, also the maximum score per category differs [ 64].
When presented with different numbers of items of the same species, seals generally selected the larger number of prey items.
Because the five subscales differ in the number of items, the sum scores for each subscale were standardized to a scale ranging from 0 to 100, whereby higher scores indicate better HRQOL.
As with the DQoL, the number of items per category differs, and therefore also the maximum score per category differs.
The forms differ slightly in number of items (56 to 58), structure of item stems and examples of concepts [ 23].
Generalizability theory was used to examine the effects of different numbers of raters, item functions, item types, item characteristics on the dependability (analogous to reliability) of these tests.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to explore whether the number of items prescribed differed according to individual demographic variables such as job title, employer, care setting, and time since qualifying as prescriber.
