Disclaimer

IRW item text is reconstructed from published articles, codebooks, and supplementary materials using a largely automated pipeline with partial human review, and is provided for research purposes only. We make no guarantee that the text is accurate, complete, or correctly aligned with the item identifiers in the corresponding IRW response data; the original source document is always authoritative. Users are responsible for verifying item text against that source before drawing substantive conclusions. Documented discrepancies are listed at https://itemresponsewarehouse.org/itemtext_issues.html.

Note also that the licenses recorded for IRW response data do not extend to the instruments themselves. Inclusion of item text here implies no license to reuse an instrument; copyright and related rights remain with the original rights holders, and users are responsible for obtaining any permissions their intended use requires.

Examples
