项目反应理论(IRT)分析被用来通过比较单一文化群体和多元文化复合体来确定独特的文化反应模式。一项旨在衡量人们对心理健康态度的调查用他们的母语对美国、德国和法国的在职教师、退休教师和实习教师进行了调查。将每个国家群体的项目特征曲线(ICC)与包含所有三个文化群体的复合参照所生成的ICC进行比较，从而提供一个全文化参照点。表现出不同项目功能(DIF)的项目，即具有不同综合参照和焦点组ICC的项目，表明了对态度调查项目的独特文化反应模式。讨论了这种方法在IRT分析中的优点和缺点。
An item response theory (IRT) analysis was used to identify unique cultural response patterns by comparing single-culture groups with a multicultural composite. A survey designed to measure attitudes toward mental health was administered in their native languages to American, German, and French working, retired, and student teachers. Item characteristic curves (ICCs) for each national group were compared with ICCs generated by a composite reference containing all three cultural groups, thus providing an omnicultural reference point. Items that exhibited differential item functioning (DIF), that is, items with dissimilar ICCs for the composite reference and focal groups, were indicative of unique cultural response patterns to the attitude survey items. The advantages and disadvantages of this method in an IRT analysis are discussed
