Abstract

The Aiken-Dreger Mathematics Attitude Scale was administered to a sample of 2538 Urban Middle and High School students in northern California. All the schools serve predominantly minority students. To investigate the factorial validity of the scale, the intercorrelation matrix for the twenty items was computed and factor analyzed. Two factors (Enjoyment and Fear) were derived from the varimax rotated matrix. The results of the study provided empirical evidence to support the two-dimensional structure of the Aiken-Dreger Mathematics Attitude Scale.
