The data obtained from the sample of 176 eighth-grade students on the SAMS (Short Form) which was subjected to an obliquely rotated (promax) factor solution produced at least four meaningful dimensions of study attitudes and methods. Further, the results from the confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis yielded a six-factor oblique solution as providing the closest degree-of-fit
