Резюме	Polytomous differential item functioning detects whether a test or survey item with more than two ordered response categories (e.g., Likert-type scales, partial-credit items) functions differently across groups such as gender, ethnicity, or language background, after controlling for the latent trait being measured. It extends classical binary DIF methods to ordinal response formats.	The Graded Response Model is an item response theory model developed by Fumiko Samejima in 1969 for ordered polytomous items such as Likert-type scales. It estimates both the discriminating power of each item and a set of threshold parameters marking the boundaries between adjacent response categories, while simultaneously placing persons on a continuous latent trait scale.
