Martens, Fred L. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1979
A scale measuring attitude toward physical education was developed for elementary school children in grades 4 to 7. Correlation between scores obtained on the scale and a self-rating produced coefficients ranging from .22 to .82. Reliability ranged from .57 to .81. No significant difference was found between sexes. (Author/GDC)
