Sažetak
This is the seventh time that we are getting together scientists and professionals in the area of psychometric theory and methodology at this international symposium. This event has a special meaning to us. We eagerly look forward to each new symposium with its stimulating presentations and lively discussions during and after the formal part of the event, turning it into an inspiring scientific enterprise. Yet, it is always an opportunity to stir up memories of the authority of our professor and friend, Alija Kulenović. Therefore, the whole event including the valuable contributions of all the participants, as of active presenters so those from the audience, is dedicated to him. The 7th psychometric symposium gathered scientists from seven different countries. The program consists of nine presentations offered by authors coming from Germany, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Sweden, USA, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. As was the case with the previous six symposia, varied conceptual and methodological topics are covered by the program, from the use of some anthropometric indices as a measure of prenatal levels of specific hormones (U. Mikac et al.) to the validity issues related to implicit measures of specific traits (Z. Galić). Several presentations are principally devoted to the issues of measurement, such as possibilities of usage of additional information contained in item responses, based on simulated (G. Sočan) or real life data (S. Greiff), and particular problems of validity (D. Ljubotina) or differential item functioning (B. Molander et al.). Fewer presentations this time include demonstrations of usage of multivariate methodology (F. Prot & S. Prot) or specific classes of structural equation models in testing substantive hypotheses (B. Rebernjak & V. Buško) or dealing with validation issues (A. Mujagić et al.).
