Scale-Center-Standardized PSI Ratings

Description

Transforms ESJT ratings into a z-score-like metric indicating the number of 'standard-deviations-from-zero' the person's original rating of the item was.

Usage

zPSI(PSIdata)

Arguments

PSIdata

original PSI data (should have 'p','s','i' for first three columns)

Details

This syntax implicitly assumes that 0 is a meaningful point on the scale. The original data collection and the prior processing of the data should reflect this.

* The scale-centered scores do NOT have the usual interpretation of [regular] z-scores as being translatable to approximate probabilities assuming a normal distribution of responses.

* If the person gives the same score to all items, all zcx will equal 1.

Value

Standardized scale-centered scores.

Original matrix but with data now equating level of variability for each participant
