Transitive Reasoning Data

Description

Scores of 606 school children on 16 dichotomous transitive reasoning items.

Usage

data(transreas2)

Format

A 606 by 16 data frame containing integers.

Details

The data were collected by Samantha Bouwmeester (Bouwmeester & Sijtsma, 2004). The design of the items is included as attributes. The respondents have been deidentified. The deidentified data do allow to replicate the analyses in Sijtsma and Van der Ark (2020, chapter 4), using the code available from https://osf.io/e9jrz. Note that the package mokken includes another transitive reasoning data set.

Source

Data were kindly made available by Samantha Bouwmeester from the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
