Research Interests
His research interest focus on structural equation modeling and item response theory (IRT), and more generally in developing new quantitative methods. His early research focused on social problem solving (how individuals solve real life problems) and optimism. He is probably best known for his research on goodness of fit tests for very sparse categorical data (with applications to educational testing), and models for preference and choice (with applications to marketing but also to personnel selection). His most recent work focuses on goodness of fit testing of structural equation models, statistical models to overcome common method bias, and statistical modeling of faking in personnel selection
