Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to extent the evaluation of Wise's Attitudes Toward Statistics (ATS) Scale by examining scale responses in relation to (a) its factor structure and (b) the correlation of ATS subscale scores with students' grades in statistics courses at several levels of graduate study, students' sex (which was found to be a useful predictor by Woehlke & Leitner, 1980), and scores on measures of basic mathematics and comprehension of statistical terminology.
