  1. Notes. PS Parental stress, LPS Lack of parental satisfaction, RM Rasch model, GLLRM Graphical loglinear Rasch model, CLR Conditional likelihood ratio, df degrees of freedom, p p-value, DIF differential item function
  2. Global homogeneity test compares items parameters in approximately equal-sized groups of high and low scoring parents
  3. + The critical 5% limit for the p-values after adjusting for FDR was p = .0100
  4. aThe GLLRM for the PS scale assumed that item 15 and 16 functions differentially relative to parent educational level
  5. bThe GLLRM for the PS scale assumed that items 3 and 4 are locally dependent, and that item 4 functions differentially relative to child age
  6. cThe GLLRM for the LPS subscale assumed that items 1 and 6, and item 1 and 17 are locally dependent
