  Log-file data from computer-based assessments can provide useful collateral information for estimating student abilities. In turn, this can improve traditional approaches that only consider response accuracy. Based on the amounts of time students spent on 10 mathematics items from the PISA 2012, this study evaluated the overall changes in and measurement precision of ability estimates and explored country-level heterogeneity when combining item responses and time-on-task measurements using a joint framework. Our findings suggest a notable increase in precision with the incorporation of response times and indicate differences between countries in how respondents approached items as well as in their response processes. Results also showed that additional information could be captured through differences in the modeling structure when response times were included. However, such information may not reflect the testing objective.

Associations among subtypes of competitiveness, hypothetical altruism, and Machiavellianism.

  Competitiveness as a personality trait is commonly viewed as having three dimensions – competing to win (CW; to dominate and suppress others unscrupulously), competing to surpass (CS; to surpass or excel above others), and competing to develop (CD; to focus on personal development). Using a sample of 926 participants in mainland China, this study examined the structure of competitiveness and inferred relationships between competitiveness and hypothetical altruism in resource allocation games and Machiavellianism. We found that CW was associated with lower levels of hypothetical altruism. Additionally, CW and CS were positively related to Machiavellianism, while CD had a negative association with Machiavellianism. These findings indicated that different dimensions of competitiveness function differently concerning altruism and manipulation, advancing the understanding of competitiveness.
