In this book, the authors provide a cogent review of statistical and interpretive procedures that, in combination, can be used to reduce the likelihood that tests contain items that favor members of one gender, age, racial, or ethnic group over equally able members of another group, for reasons that are unrelated to the objectives and purposes of measurement. Such test items are said to be biased against the equally able members of the group that is not favored. The methods described and illustrated in this book have the potential to reducing the incidence of tests that are, in their construction, biased against members of one or more groups. These methods have the potential of controlling an important source of invalidity when test results are interpreted.

Sources of item bias located in characteristics of the test item were studied in a reasoning test developed in South Africa. Subjects were 1,056 White, 1,063 Indian, and 1,093 Black students from standard 7 in Afrikaans and English schools. Format and content of the 85-item Reasoning Test were manipulated to obtain information about bias or differential group achievement. Bias indices were calculated by the Scheuneman technique and the three-parameter logistical model. The Junior Aptitude Tests, the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices, and a biographical questionnaire were used, along with the Reasoning Test, in this investigation. Results suggest a distinction between true and apparent item bias. True item bias included aspects such as language factors, overly attractive distractors, and a lack of the knowledge and concepts that are usually acquired informally. Apparent bias--a feature of the examinee's test behavior rather than of the item--was indicated as a tendency to use associative, rather than conceptual similarity in classification, selective attention, and an insufficiently logical approach. Findings also suggest that: (1) items in which a statement was made functioned less well than did other types; (2) story-type items led to poor performance; (3) sayings were not suitable open item types; (4) figures were superior to language in terms of content; (5) figural analogies were superior to verbal analogies; (6) series were better than analogies in terms of format; and (7) syllogisms were not suitable item types. Twenty-seven tables and one figure contain study data. (SLD)

This study was undertaken to shed light on problems concerning the construction and use of a common test battery for various South African population groups. Specifically, the psychometric suitability for use with Indian and Black pupils, of the Junior Aptitude Tests (JAT), which were standardized for White pupils in Standard 7 was studied. The predictive validity and construct validity of the JAT and the test items were also investigated. The sample consisted of: (1) 1,056 White students from 30 schools; (2) 1,063 Indian students from 30 schools; and (3) 1,093 Black students from 28 schools. The students in the sample ranged in age from 13 to 20 years. Bias in the JAT was studied through comparison with results on the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices of J. C. Raven et al. (1977) and results on a reasoning test and biographical questionnaire developed for the study. Most tests of the JAT battery were found to be suitable for Indian students, but not for Black students. Differences between the JAT means for White and Black students were generally two standard deviations and more, and test reliabilities were low. Although construct bias was not apparent, bias was found in many test items. This study illustrates the difficulties involved in assessment of the diverse population groups in South Africa. A 109-item list of references is attached. Seven tables in Appendix A, 7 in Appendix B, and 60 graphs in Appendix C provide data to support the report. (SLD)
