Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Missing data in psychometric research presents a substantial challenge, impacting the reliability and validity of study outcomes. Various factors contribute to this issue, including participant non-response, dropout, or technical errors during data collection. Traditional methods like mean imputation or regression, commonly used to handle missing data, rely upon assumptions that may not hold on psychological data and can lead to distorted results.
