Enhancing Scale Development: Pseudo Factor Analysis of Language Embedding Similarity Matrices

2025-03-12

Abstract excerpt

<p>This article builds and extends on recent work using Large Language Models (LLMs) in psychometrics to generate pseudo-discrimination parameters. While earlier work looked at pseudo-discrimination on an item-by-construct basis, we introduce pseudo-factor analysis to enhance scale design. Pseudo-factor analysis is a data-less, model-based approach to evaluating aspects of a latent construct’s measurement model, s...
