The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of race of examiner who administers the Situational Attitude Scale (SAS). One group of white Ss ( N = 115) was administered the SAS by blacks and a comparable group by white administrators ( N = 204). Questionnaires were completed anonymously. Results of two-way analyses of variance (fixed model, p = .05) indicated that there were no measurable effects attributable to the race of the person administering the SAS, and whites generally responded negatively to blacks in personal or social situations.

The general finding shows that the assessment instrument for attitude domain contained in each of the sub-theme in Buku Guru SD / MI,  uses the rubric of student behavior observations, even though theoretically the nature of attitude is not the same as behavior, this shows the problem in the implementation of the Curriculum 2013. Ideally, the attitude domain assessment uses attitude measurement instruments, which include components of cognition, affection, and conation. Cognition is related to beliefs (beliefs, ideas, and concepts). The affection component concerns a person's emotional life, while the conation component is a tendency to behave. The three components of attitude do not stand alone, but interact with one another in a complex way. To overcome this problem, direction needs to be prepared for the correct attitude assessment instrument, especially containing the nature of attitudes and their differences with behavior, how to measure attitudes, and how to arrange the attitude scale of the Likert model. The steps in preparing the Likert model attitude scale include are: 1) compiling the attitude object statement; (2) conducting instrument trials; (3) determiinge the score for each statement (instrument blue-print); (4) analyzing items to determine the reliability and validity of the instrument.

SummaryThe Phobic Attitude Scale (PAS) is a new 15-item inventory designed to assess sub-clinical agoraphobic attitudes as well as the severity of pathological avoidance. Its psychometric properties have been examined in three groups of subjects: 41 outpatients suffering from DSM III-R Panic Disorder, with or without agoraphobia, 62 healthy controls and 12 mixed psychiatric patients.The instrument proved to be simple and easy to use. PD patients scored significantly higher than healthy controls, with mixed psychiatric cases showing intermediate values. The Test-Retest procedure gave rise to satisfactory kappa coefficients (0.25 to 1) and the internal consistency was good (Cronbach alpha = 0.86). Factor analysis produced three factors: “crowded and social situations”,“enclosed and open spaces/riding situations” and “simple phobia”.

This review focuses on recent literature related to development of scales for measuring reading attitudes. The scales are reviewed under the headings of self-report instruments, direct observation, and projective techniques. General criteria for attitude scale construction related to item development, response set contamination, and statistical procedures are discussed. Conclusions relative to the state-of-the-art in attitude measurement as it relates to reading are presented. Also included are supplementary bibliographies listing sources on measurement and the affective domain, inventories and bibliographies of affective measures, attitude toward school, attitude measurement and instrument development, attitude measurement in subject areas and in relation to curriculum innovation, and attitude measurement in reading.

Laboratory Analogue

Attitude scale construction techniques give, at best, only indirect attention to the prediction capabilities of individual items. Although conventional scaling procedures can be augmented by an item analysis sequence that uses known-affiliation groups, many uncertainties surround this approach. Laboratory analogues of the social processes central to a scale are recommended as a source of data for item analysis. The group autokinetic experiment is suggested as an example of a laboratory analogue of the social processes central to a scale intending to measure attitudes toward dissent.

Purpose Future speech-language pathologists are often unprepared in their academic training to serve the communicative and cognitive needs of older adults with dementia. While negative attitudes toward older adults are prevalent among undergraduate students, service learning has been shown to positively affect students' attitudes toward older adults. TimeSlips is an evidence-based approach that has been shown to improve health care students' attitudes toward older adults. The purpose of this study is to explore the change in attitudes in speech-language pathology students toward older adults using TimeSlips in service learning. Method Fifty-one students participated in TimeSlips service learning with older adults and completed the Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS) before and after service learning. In addition, students completed a reflection journal. The DAS data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics, and journal entries were analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach. Results The service learners exhibited a significant increase in positive attitude as indexed on the DAS. The reflective journal entries supported the positive change in attitudes. Conclusions A noticeable attitude shift was indexed in reflective journals and on the DAS. TimeSlips is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach well suited to address challenges in the preparation of Communication Sciences and Disorders students to work with the growing population of older adults.

The present study examined conceptual issues surrounding celebrity worship in a Malay-speaking population. In total, 512 Malay and 269 Chinese participants from Malaysia indicated who their favorite celebrity was and completed the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) as well as a range of demographic items. Results showed that the majority of Malay and Chinese participants selected pop stars and movie stars as their favourite celebrities, mirroring findings in Western settings. In addition, exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor solution of the CAS that was consistent with previous studies conducted in the West. Structural equation modeling further revealed that participant’s age was negatively associated with celebrity worship and that self-rated attractiveness was positively associated with celebrity worship. Overall, the present results suggest that celebrity worship in Malaysia may be driven by market and media forces, and future research may well be guided by use of the CAS.
