Përmbledhja	Short-form McDonald's omega applies the omega reliability coefficient to abbreviated or shortened versions of psychological scales. It provides a theoretically sound reliability estimate that accounts for the multidimensional structure of the short instrument, enabling researchers to evaluate whether abbreviation has preserved the reliability of the original full-length scale.	Item response theory models the probability that a respondent answers an item correctly (or endorses it) as a function of the respondent's latent trait level and the item's own statistical properties — difficulty, discrimination, and guessing. Unlike classical test theory, IRT places persons and items on the same scale, yielding measurement that is sample-independent for items and test-independent for persons.
