Offer Description
The aim of the project is to extend the current scope of application of Formal Psychological Assessment (FPA)—a formal approach to psychological assessment based on a combination of Knowledge Structure
Theory and Formal Concept Analysis—with a focus on psychological constructs in which the assumption of




local independence of the items used for measurement can be more easily violated to varying degrees of
severity. To this end, the project aims to identify one or more psychological constructs suitable for such
formalization, analyze the associated literature, model and identify the item-attribute relationship,
construct and identify the competence and knowledge structures associated with one or more disorders,
identify the models best suited to capture violations of local independence, and finally test and validate these structures and models through data collection and statistical analysis
