Tiivistelmä	Short form generalizability theory applies the G-theory variance-component framework to abbreviated measurement instruments, using G-studies and D-studies to estimate how many items a short scale must retain to achieve a desired reliability and to evaluate the accuracy of decisions made with a condensed instrument.	Short-form item response theory applies IRT calibration and scoring to abbreviated or shortened psychological scales. It uses item information functions to guide which items to retain from a full-length instrument, then estimates latent trait scores from the reduced item set while preserving psychometric rigor and linkage to the full-scale metric.
