Experts in this field are recruited to tap possible sources of DIF. Quantitative analysis results help experts reviewing DIF to locate sources for DIF items. This study aimed to demonstrate the use of the differential facet functioning (DFF) procedure implemented using the linear logistic test model (LLTM) and random effects linear logistic test model (LLTM-R) to explain possible DIF sources. The efficiency of LLTM and LLTM-R in detecting DFF under various conditions was also evaluated. The simulation results indicated that the DIF effect was significantly influenced by the DFF effect of item properties. Moreover, as the design matrices had a high density (e.g., 60%), Type-I error rates of DIF assessment were seriously inflated. We also demonstrated the procedure of DFF analysis with an empirical data. The result showed that most DIF items were related to two item properties, which would be provided as possible DIF sources in the item-review meeting. Researchers should implement DFF assessment using LLTM-R to help explain DIF sources.DIF成因差異試題功能差異層面功能線性邏輯斯測驗模式隨機效果線性邏輯斯測驗模式DIF sourceDifferential item functioningDifferential facet functioningLinear logistic test modelRandom effects linear logistic test modelDIF成因之初探:試題特徵與差異試題功能之關聯Investigating Sources of Differential Item Functioning: the Relationship Between Item Property and Differential Item Functioning
