Table 23.3, 23.13, ... Item contrast

Please do not interpret this as a usual factor analysis. These plots show contrasts between opposing factors, not loadings on one factor. For more discussion, see dimensionality and contrasts.

 

The effect on the persons of the contrast between the oppositely loading items (Table 23.1)  at the top and bottom of the contrast plot is shown here.

Responses by up to 9 persons (or on up to 9 items) to the items (or by the persons) with extreme positive loadings and the items (or persons) with extreme negative loadings are identified. These responses are seen to be higher, as expected, or lower than the model predicts. Counts of these are obtained for each person (or item). The persons (or items) showing the biggest impact of this contrast are listed first. Items and persons showing the most contrast are chosen for this Table based on the "Liking for Science" data.

 

Table 23.3 shows the impact of the first contrast in Table 23.1 on persons:

FAVORS TOP

These persons score higher on the items at the top of the Contrast 1 plot in Table 23.1 than the items at the bottom of the contrast plot

FAVORS BOTTOM

These persons score higher on the items at the bottom of the Contrast 1 plot in Table 23.1 than the items at the top of the contrast plot

TOP 7 ACTS

Responses for the top 7 items (or top half of the items if less than 7) on the Contrast plot

BOTTOM 7 ACTS

Responses for the bottom 7 items (or top half of the items if less than 7) on the Contrast plot

HIGH

Person response is higher than expected on this many items

EXP.

Person response is expected (within 0.5 score points) on this many items

LOW

Person response is lower than expected on this many items

Person entry number and person label.

Persons with greatest differential performance between TOP and BOTTOM are shown with strongest difference listed first.

8   LAMBERT, MD., ROSS W.

The effect of the 1st Contrast is more strongly seen in the performance of these two persons. Is there something about them that interacts with the set of items?
