Abstract

Purpose: The present study aims to develop a scale based on the Graded Response Model, one of the Item Response Theory models to determine university students' attitudes towards pirated content. Most of the data collection tools on attitudes towards piracy and pirated content have not been developed as a scale, and an attitude scale towards pirated content based on Item Response Theory (IRT) does not exist in the literature.
