Abstract

Two research avenues on self-control measurement have explored the factor structure and identified differential item functioning (DIF) in the Grasmick et al. (1993) scale. This work integrates and extends this research by considering the consequences of factor structure for the detection of biased items across age, sex, race, education, and language.
