Relationships between Peer and Individual Attitudes toward Science among Adolescent Students.
Talton, E. Lynn; Simpson, Ronald D.
Science Education, v69 n1 p19-24 Jan 1985
Found that the strength of the relationship between peer and individual attitude toward science increases significantly from grades 6-8 (peaking in grade 9) and that the relationship increases during the school year such that, by the end of the year, there are no differences between grades. Implications for science instruction are noted. (JN)
