Raymond, Mark R.; Roberts, Dennis M.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v43 n4 p1239-46 Win 1983
This research investigates the psychometric properties of a Foreign Language Attitude Scale (FLAS). Stepwise regression indicated that the FLAS made a significant contribution to the prediction of FL grades. In a second study, correlations between the FLAS and standardized measures of FL reading and listening proficiency were in the middle .40s. (Author/PN)
