A Sex Difference by Item Difficulty Interaction in Multiple-Choice Mathematics Items Administered to National Probability Samples.
Bielinski, John; Davison, Mark L.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v38 n1 p51-77 Spr 2001
Used mathematics achievement data from the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress, the Third International Mathematics and Science Study, and the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 to examine the sex difference by item difficulty interaction. The predicted negative correlation was found for all eight populations and was significant for five of them. (SLD)
