摘要	Short-form differential item functioning (DIF) analysis examines whether individual items in an abbreviated scale function equivalently across demographic or subgroup comparisons. When a scale is shortened, retained items must still behave fairly for all relevant groups — DIF analysis verifies this, ensuring that score differences reflect true ability or trait differences rather than item bias.	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.
