(2009, background): “Research has also found peer attitude and interest in science to be a significant predictor of student attitude and enjoyment of science (Fraser & Kahle, 2007; George, 2000; Simpson & Oliver, 1990), and having peers with whom to share science interests enhances students’ vision of themselves as futu”

• Examining Changing Attitudes in Secondary School Science (2008, result): “This finding has also been highlighted by many other studies, including Yager and Yager (1985), Doherty and Dawe (1985), George (2000, 2006), and in the review paper by Osborne et al. (2003).”
• The formation of science choices in secondary school (2005, background): “Kelly (1986) and Woolnough (1996) in the UK and George (2000) in the USA have reported a decline in attitude towards science as pupils progress through secondary school, whereas positive attitudes have been associated with interest in and enjoyment of science among secondary school-aged students…”

• Developing Attitudes towards Science Measures (2007, background): “Although some researchers have defined attitude solely in terms the affective component (Germann, 1988; George, 2000), Fishbein & Ajzen (1975) viewed attitudes as being formed spontaneously and inevitably as individuals form beliefs about the attributes of an object.”
• A Cross‐domain Analysis of Change in Students’ Attitudes toward Science and Attitudes about the Utility of Science (2006, background): “Studies have shown that students’ attitudes toward science are correlated with parental involvement (George, 2000; George & Kaplan, 1996; Keeves, 1975), mother’s attitudes (Schibeci, 1989), and attitudes of the family toward science (Talton & Simpson, 1987).”
• Students attitudes towards technology (2015, background): “Some studies have shown that parental involvement and attitudes are often correlated with students’ attitudes towards science (George 2000; Schibeci 1989; Talton and Simpson 1987; George and Kaplan 1998).”
