6th psychometric symposium in honour of Professor Alija Kulenović

Just like the previous symposia, the present psychometric event is dedicated to the memory of Professor Alija Kulenović. It is meant to be an occasion to remind ourselves over again to the authority, enthusiasm, and generosity of this exceptional scholar. We are pleased to note that the 6th symposium gathered scientists from eight different countries and even three different continents. The symposium program consists of 12 presentations offered by twenty six authors coming from Australia, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Sweden, USA, and Croatia. As was the case with the previous five events, the program encompasses rather diverse conceptual and methodological topics dealing with theoretically and practically important issues on the measurement of psychological attributes and possible methodological solutions. Predominantly measurement issues are dealt with in several presentations, including psychometric treatment of performance ratings (K. R. Murphy), analyses of patterns and sources of differential item functioning (Bo Molander & V. Takšić), the analysis of item performance parameters in computer based testing (D. Ljubotina), and the use of evaluative decision task in automatic processing measurement (B. Rebernjak & V. Busko). Uses of specific structural equation modeling techniques or test theory models are demonstrated in studies on more substantive or conceptual issues, like brain-behavior relationships in the domain of facial emotion recognition (A. Hildebrandt et al.), creativity and speed of information processing relationships (V. Bucik), self-esteem trajectories in late life (J. Wagner et al.), an evaluation of the modified Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive levels (N. Ćurković). Finally, more applied topics are covered by talks on large-scale assessment of problem solving abilities (S. Greiff), and on psychometric evaluation of instruments for the assessment of work-related stress (N. Sedlar & G. Sočan), empathy in early adolescents (U. Mikac et al.), and sport preferences (F. Prot et al.). We look forward to this exciting scientific event and do hope that the contributions to the 6th psychometric symposium will again provoke active participation and lively discussion in the audience.
