Although many would disagree with with me, it has been
my experience that the Rasch model or 1P IRT model do
a very good job of evaluating a scale, constructing a
scale, and/or revising a scale. The more complicated
models just seem to complicate matters without
sufficient psychometric gain.
BTW, Rasch "purists" do not consider the Rasch model
to be the "same thing" as the 1P IRT model. Although
algebraically equivalent, there are conceptual
differences that make the Rasch and 1P models
distinct.
