BACKGROUND: Invariant item ordering (IIO) is defined as the extent to which items have the same ordering (in terms of item difficulty/severity - i.e. demonstrating whether items are difficult [rare] or less difficult [common]) for each respondent who completes a scale. IIO is therefore crucial for establishing a scale hierarchy that is replicable across samples, but no research has demonstrated II...<br/><br/>F Doyle, R Watson, K Morgan, O McBride (2012) <i>J Affect Disord</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

Many of these studies focus on individual difficulties and neglect the social, environmental and cultural aspects of meals and eating. Studies often centre on the problems of providing food instead of the experience of those receiving food.
