Factorial Validity of Scores on the Aiken Attitude to Mathematics Scales for Adult Pretertiary Students.
Taylor, Janet A.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n1 p125-30 Feb 1997
The Aiken Attitude to Mathematics Scale (L. Aiken, 1974, 1979) was administered to 430 adult students in a tertiary preparation program, and the factorial validity of the scale was investigated through exploratory factor analysis. Two factors were extracted with high reliabilities, as opposed to Aiken's four-factor structure. (SLD)
