Abstract | Likert-type inventories of children's attitude toward the world of work were administered to approximately 1,500 students in grades 2-8. The positively and negatively stated scores were analyzed separately. Agreement with positively stated items showed almost no difference among the various grades. However, the trend toward more disagreement among older students with negatively stated items resulted in significant differences among the grades. It is conjectured that the observed differences result from the decreasing tendency of older children to acquiesce. Implications for attitude assessment are discussed. (Author) |
