Shrnutí	Short-form item analysis is the systematic psychometric evaluation and selection of items when constructing an abbreviated version of a longer measurement instrument. It applies classical and modern item-analysis criteria — item-total correlations, reliability estimates, and factor structure — to identify the smallest item subset that preserves the original scale's psychometric integrity.	Confirmatory factor analysis tests a researcher-specified factor structure against observed data. Unlike exploratory approaches, the researcher decides in advance which indicators load on which latent factor, and the model is evaluated by how closely the implied covariance matrix reproduces the sample covariance matrix. CFA is central to scale validation, construct validity assessment, and measurement invariance testing.
