Academically Unpredictable School Children: Their Attitudes towards School Subjects.
Richards, Herbert C.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v77 n5 p273-76 May-Jun 1984
Fourth-grade students were administered the Estes Attitude Scale to measure attitudes towards core academic subjects. When results were compared with test results of actual school performance, it was found that both extreme overachievers and underachievers had poorer attitudes toward core subjects than had other more accurately predicted counterparts.
