A Further Approach to Attitude Scaling

S ummary . In an attempt to find a simple, uncomplicated and effective way of measuring attitudes that might prove useful to the classroom teacher, a series of experiments was carried out at a teachers' training college. A self‐rating scale which required the conceptualising of attitudes in numerical rather than verbal terms was devised as the principal instrument and the results of its application were compared with those from two traditional attitude scales constructed for the same purpose. The self‐rating scale proved as effective as the other scales and in addition, gave evidence of having validity against a behavioural criterion
