Investigating differences between rater groups |
This is for 32-bit Facets 3.87. Here is Help for 64-bit Facets 4
The Problem:
Videotapes of 2 different flight crews, consisting of 2 crew members each, the pilot-in-command (PIC) and the second-in-command (SIC), are rated on 10 items that measure technical and teamwork skills. 2 overall items assess crew technical and teamwork performance. There is one item for overall evaluation of the PIC, and one item for overall evaluation of the SIC. There are 3 groups of judges, each group consisting of 7 to 10 judges. Each judge rates both crews on all items (4-point Likert scale). I want to investigate the differences between the groups of judges.
Solution:
Here is the skeleton of a suggested Facets control file:
Title="Air Crew Videotapes"
; facet 1 is judges
; facet 2 is judge group (a dummy facet)
; facet 3 is crew number
; facet 4 is crew component: crew, PIC or SIC
; facet 5 is items
Investigating differences between rater groups
facets=5
models=
?,#,?,?,?,Likert ; model each group to have its own rating scale (or partial credit)
?,?B,?,?,?B,R ; look for group by item interactions
?,?B,?B,?,?,R ; look for group by crew number interactions
*
rating scale = Likert,R4,Specific ;we model each group to have its own scale
1=SD ; compare the rating scale (or partial credit) structures
2=D ; reported for the 3 groups
3=A
4=SA
*
labels=
1,Judges
1=Fred,,1 ;Fred is in group 1: Note the ,, to skip over the pre-set logit value field.
2=Mary,,3 ;Mary in group 3
3=Alfonso,,2 ;Alfonson in group 2
.... ;there will be subtotals by group
*
2,Group,A ;dummy facet - used for classification
1=Group A,0 ;anchored at 0 to remove for measurement,
2=Group B,0 ;group facet used for classification and summary fit statistics
3=Group C,0
*
3,Crew number ; the videotapes
1=Crew X
2=Crew Y
*
4,Component
1=Crew ;used for items 1-12
2=PIC ;used for item 13
3=SIC ;used for item 14
*
5,Items
1=technical
....
10=teamwork
11=technical performance
12=teamwork performance
13=PIC overall
14=SIC overall
*
data= ;here are some example data lines:
2,3,1,1,1-12, 2,1,3,2,4,1,2,1,3,2,1,2 ;Mary in group 3 rates crew 1's crew on items 1-12
2,3,1,2,13, 4 ;Mary in group 3 rates crew 1's PIC on item 13
2,3,1,2,14, 3 ;Mary in group 3 rates crew 1's SIC on item 14
Here is the skeleton of a likely Facform control file:
Facform can be downloaded from www.winsteps.com/facets.htm
Original data format (say) in file rawdata.txt:
judge id cols 1-3
judge group cols 4
Crew number col 5
Item ratings cols 6-19 (14 items)
$Title = "Format the Air Crew judge data"
$Input = "rawdata.txt"
$Output= "facdata.txt"
$Facets=5 ;define number of facets
$Flabel=1,"Judges" ;define facet names
$Flabel=2,"Group,A"
$Flabel=3,"Crew number"
$Flabel=4,"Component"
$Flabel=5,"Items"
$Label=1,$S1W3 ;identification for facet 1 judge
$Label=2,$S4W1 ;identification for facet 2 group
$Label=3,$S5W1 ;identification for facet 3 crew number
$label=4,1,"Crew" ; identification for facet 4 - the crew
item = 1
$Do=12
$Label=5,item ; identification for facet 5 - item number
$Rating=$S(item+5)W1 ; response to item 1 etc.
item = item +1 ; next item
$Again
$label=4,2,"PIC" ; identification for facet 4 - PIC
$Label=5,13,"PIC overall" ; identification for facet 5 - item 13
$Rating=$S18W1 ; response to item 13
$label=4,3,"SIC" ; identification for facet 4 - SIC
$Label=5,14,"SIC overall" ; identification for facet 5 - item 14
$Rating=$S19W1 ; response to item 14
