Reliability of the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ).
Yoder, Jan D.; And Others
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the volume of empirical research directed toward the issue of sex-roles, including the development of evaluative instruments such as the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ). The United States Military Academy's Project Athena, designed to examine the impact of admitting women to the military academy on both the institution and individual cadets, has repeatedly tested the cadet population with several psychological measures using a longitudinal design procedure. Cadets completed the AWS and PAQ before and after cadet basic training. The PAQ was also administered five times throughout a two-year period. Results indicated that the AWS and PAQ tests were reliable and that the PAQ scores were quite stable over time. The internal consistency coefficients were very high for both measures. The test-retest reliability coefficients suggest that both these scales measure relatively stable characteristics of the respondents. (Author/HLM)
