This study examined gender differences in the psychometric properties of the Student Risk Screening Scale for Internalizing and Externalizing behaviors (SRSS‐IE) using item response theory methods among a sample of 2,122 middle school students. The SRSS‐IE is a screening instrument used to identify students who are potentially at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Differential item functioning and differential step functioning methods were used to examine differences in item and response option functioning according to student gender variables. Additionally, test information functions (TIFs) were used to indicate if current recommendations for moderate EBD risk and high EBD risk cut scores differ by gender. Results of this study indicated two items on the SRSS‐IE systematically favored males over females, and one item systematically favored females over males. Additionally, examination of TIFs demonstrated differing degrees of measurement precision at various levels of theta for males and females on both the externalizing and internalizing constructs. Implications of these results are discussed relative to the SRSS‐IE items, cut scores, and scale scoring procedures.

中学SRSS-IE中性别差异的项目分析

这项研究使用项目反应理论方法在2122名中学生样本中检查了用于内化和外化行为的学生风险筛选量表(SRSS-IE)的心理计量学属性中​​的性别差异。SRSS-IE是一种筛选工具,用于识别可能有情绪和行为障碍(EBD)风险的学生。根据学生性别变量,使用差异项功能和差异步骤功能方法来检查项和响应选项功能上的差异。此外,测试信息功能(TIF)用于指示当前针对中度EBD风险和高EBD风险削减分数的建议是否因性别而异。这项研究的结果表明,在SRSS-IE上,有两项相对系统地偏爱男性,而不是女性,还有一项系统地偏爱女性而不是男性。此外,对TIF的检查表明,在外部化和内部化结构上,男性和女性在不同的theta水平下,其测量精度都有不同程度。讨论了这些结果的含义与SRSS-IE项目,切分和量表评分程序有关。
