The setting in which attitude data are collected can be a source of measurement error. This paper reports the results of an experimental study concerned with the effects that place of measurement might have on measuring attitudes of school-age children. Using a numerical scale, children in grades 4 to 8 rated 16 nonschool activities, with the measurements being made either at school or at home, on the basis of a replicated randomized block design. The results supported the belief that place of measurement can affect measurement scores of school-age children
