Anonymity and Attitude Scores among Ten- and Eleven-Year Old Children

A number of commentators argue that the guaranteed anonoymity of the respondent is an essential aspect of the accurate measurement of attitude by means of questionnaires. This assertion was tested among 300 ten- and eleven-year old children in relationship to a questionnaire measuring attitude towards religion. No significant difference in attitude scores was found between the situations of anonymity and the direct identification of the response forms.

Student Attitudes toward Physical Education

Abstract A group of 199 college males completed the Wear physical education attitude inventory. The responding subjects were subsequently classified according to the size of the high school attended, the college of matriculation, and the physical education class in which they were currently enrolled. No significant variations in attitude scores toward physical education were found within the subgroups of each of the three classifications. However, a significant difference in attitude scores was found between the responses to the four categories of items of the inventory. A significant variation in response was obtained between the subset formed by the physiological and the social items and the subset created by the mental-emotional and general items of the Wear attitude inventory.
