- Differential item functioning (DIF) or measurement invariance (MI) testing for single-item assessments has previously been impossible. Part of the issue is that there are no conditioning variables to serve as a proxy for the latent variable--regression-based DIF methods. Another reason is that factor-analytic approaches require multiple items to estimate parameters. In this technical working paper, I propose an approach for evaluating DIF/MI in a single-item assessment of a construct. The current methods should NOT replace using multiple-indicator MG-CFA/IRT analyses of DIF/MI or regression mased methods when possible. More items generally provide significantly better construct coverage and provide more rigorous DIF/MI evaluation.
