RASCH ANALYSIS OF SOME MMPI-2 SCALES IN A SAMPLE OF UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN

摘要

Non-cognitive skills have been recognized important predictors of student’s outcomes. The aim of this paper is to examine the psychometric properties of the Mt, DEP and ANX scales from Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, through the modern test theory approach represented by Rasch analysis; to evaluate the correlation between these traits, and between students and parents, using the data collected on a sample of Italian university freshmen and their families.
