Attitudes

28.6K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Socioemotional Development during Infancy01:30

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

90
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

75
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Educational Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Continued schooling necessitates children's adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures.
  • Assessing children's attitudes towards these measures is crucial for compliance and effective implementation.
  • Existing tools may not adequately capture schoolchildren's specific perspectives on COVID-19 protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a reliable scale for assessing schoolchildren's attitudes toward COVID-19 measures.
  • To provide an instrument for researchers and educators to understand children's perceptions of health protocols.
  • To support the ongoing operation of academic institutions during the pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • Methodological study design involving scale development.
  • Data collected from 205 primary schoolchildren in Zonguldak, Turkey.
  • Content and construct validity, along with reliability (Cronbach's alpha), were assessed.

Main Results:

  • A 28-item scale with six factors was developed: the Schoolchildren's Attitudes toward Covid-19 Measures Scale.
  • The scale demonstrated excellent content and construct validity.
  • High reliability was confirmed with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.928.

Conclusions:

  • The developed scale is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating schoolchildren's attitudes towards COVID-19 measures.
  • This tool can aid in understanding and improving children's compliance with public health guidelines in educational settings.
  • The findings support the use of this scale in research and practice to foster safer school environments.
