摘要: Investigations of differential item functioning (DIF) have been conducted mostly on ability tests and found little evidence easily interpretable differences across various demographic subgroups. In this study, we examined the degree to which DIF in biographical data items referencing academically relevant background, experiences, interests was related judgments about access these experiences by members different gender race location parameter significantly (r = –.51, p < .01) perceived accessibility experience. No significant relationships with were observed for slope groups or parameters associated Black White groups. Practical implications use biodata theoretical research are discussed.
