Thirty Studies Involving the "Scientific Attitude Inventory": What Confidence Can We Have in this Instrument?
Munby, Hugh
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v20 n2 p141-62 Feb 1983
Assesses Scientific Attitude Inventory (SAI) by examining the instrument and 30 studies in which it has been used. In addition, shows how conceptual analysis may be used to investigate validity of a research instrument. Indicates that SAI needs reworking since it is less than certain of what is being measured.
