The Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale, a Brief Version: Psychometric Data
As a measure of mathematics anxiety, the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS) has been a major scale used for research and clinical studies since 1972. Despite the usefulness of the original scale, researchers have sought a shorter version of the scale partly to reduce the administration time of the original 98-item scale. This study created a shorter version of the MARS and provides reliability and validity information for the new version. Th…

The Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale: Cross-Cultural Information
Results on the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA; Suinn, Rikard-Figueroa, Lew, & Vigil, 1987) confirm similarities between Singapore Asians and United States Asians on acculturation factors. The research also compared mean values on the SL-ASIA scale as a method of adding validity information regarding the scale. Singapore Asians did achieve a score indicative of Asian identity, whereas Asian Americans obtained a mean sco…
The Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale: Concurrent and Factorial Validation
The current report covers the reliability and validity data on an extensive study of the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA) involving a sample of 324 adults. Concurrent validity results showed that the SL-ASIA scores were significantly correlated with demographic information hypothesized to reflect levels of Asian-American identity. For example, high SL-ASIA scores were found associated with having attended school in the …
The Suinn Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (Mars-E) for Hispanic Elementary School Students
The Suinn Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale, Elementary Form (MARS-E) is described with a sample of 105 Hispanic students. These elementary school students were from six public schools.
