Abstract
A basic structure approach is proposed for obtaining
multidimensional scale values for attitude,
achievement, or personality items from response
data. Based on conventional components analysis,
and described in terms of singular value or Eckart-Young decomposition of a data matrix, basic structure
scaling yields projections of items upon axes in
the person space, equivalent to obtaining component
scores for items, with component loadings
associated with individuals. Unlike multidimensional
scaling methods, the scaling of large sets of
stimuli is practical and judgments of items are
obviated. In attitude and personality item scaling,
the technique permits the unconfounding of scale
values due to response bias and to content. It also
permits the partitioning of item indices of popularity
or difficulty among a number of relevant
dimensions, a property of possible relevance to
tailored or adaptive testing.
