Methodological appendix detailing the development and application of an algorithm for simulating the impact of adding a middle response category to QGEN-8 functioning domain items and reporting resulting changes in score distributions and convergent validity correlations with SF-36 scales.
Document Type: Auxiliary appendix
Subject: Real data simulation methods and response category modification
Instrument: QGEN-8
Comparative Measure: SF-36
Domains Analyzed: Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), Social Functioning (SF), Role Emotional (RE)
Response Scale Focus: 5-category bipolar “Very easy–Very hard” scale
Methodology: Algorithm-based reassignment using real data simulation and item response theory modeling
Statistical Measures: Norm-based scores and convergent validity correlations
Key Modification: Addition of “Sometimes easy–Sometimes hard” middle response category
Estimated Reassignment Rate: Approximately 15–20% across domains
Correlation Results: PF (r = 0.783 vs. 0.723), RP (r = 0.820 vs. 0.673), SF (r = 0.765 vs. 0.606), RE (r = 0.755 vs. 0.576)
