The Paired Comparison Method in Educational Research.
Green, Kathy
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v45 n3 p567-75 Aut 1985
Five sets of paired comparison judgments were made concerning test item difficulty, in order to identify the most probable source of intrasensitivity in the data. The paired comparisons method was useful in providing information about sensitivity to stimulus differences, but less useful for assessing dimensionality of judgment criteria. (Author/GDC)
