Notes: aBased on confirmatory factor analysis; bDIF contrast across gender = difficulty for males - difficulty for females; cDIF contrast across age = difficulty for older (> 34.5 years) - difficulty for younger (≤ 34.5 years); dDIF contrast > 0.5 indicates substantial DIF.
Abbreviations: MnSq, mean square; DIF, differential item functioning.
