^aResponse score categories contain: 0 = “Almost Never”, 1 = “Sometimes”, 2 = “Often”, and 3 = “Almost Always”
^b M = mean. SD = standard deviation. r = item-total correlation
^c a = item discrimination parameter estimates, b ₁, b ₂, b ₃ = item severity parameter estimates
^dFit index: likelihood ratio goodness-of-fit statistic G ² provided by PARSCALE. A nonsignificant result (Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted overall alpha level of .05) is an indicator of adequate model fit
^eGender differential item functioning (DIF): tested using the likelihood ratio-based significance test under the IRT framework (IRT-LR) in an iterative purification procedure for identifying DIF free anchor set. “−” indicates the anchor items which are free of differential item functioning (DIF)
^* p < Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted overall alpha level of .05
