Preface
This volume represents presentations given at the 80th annual meeting of the
Psychometric Society, organized by the Beijing Normal University, during July
12–16, 2015. The meeting attracted 511 participants from 21 countries, with 254
papersbeing presented,along with 119 poster presentations, three pre-conference
workshops,fourkeynotepresentations,eightinvitedpresentations,and six invited
and five contributed symposia. This meeting was the first ever held in China,
the birthplace of standardized testing, as was highlighted in the keynote address
“the history in standardized testing” by Dr. Houcan Zhang. We thank the local
organizersTao Xin and HongyunLiu and their staff and students for hosting this
verysuccessfulconference.

volume from the annual meeting of the Psychometric Society so as to allow
presentersto quicklymake their ideas available to the wider research community,
while still undergoing a thorough review process. The first three volumes of the
meetings in Lincoln, Arnhem, and Madison were received successfully, and we
expectasuccessfulreceptionoftheseproceedingstoo.
We asked authors to use their presentation at the meeting as the basis of their
