| Abstract: | Item response theory (IRT) provides the theoretical framework for measuring latent traits that cannot be observed directly. Examples of latent traits include intelligence, self-efficacy, mental disorder, introversion, emotional difficulty, prosocial behaviour and resilience. A measure for an individual’s latent trait can be inferred through a statistical model based on several observable behaviours. |
