The volume represents presentations given at the 86th annual meeting of the Psychometric Society, held virtually on July 1923, 2021. About 500 individuals contributed paper presentations, symposiums, poster presentations, pre-conference workshops, keynote presentations, and invited presentations. Since the 77th meeting, Springer has published the conference proceedings volume from this annual meeting to allow presenters to share their work and ideas with the wider research community, while still undergoing a thorough review process. This proceedings covers a diverse set of psychometric topics, including item response theory, Bayesian models, reliability, longitudinal measures, and cognitive diagnostic models.

Includes chapters written by leading experts and promising young researchers Addresses a diverse set of psychometric topics Features contributions by researchers from around the globe
