• Developing Attitudes towards Science Measures (2007, background): “Validity can also be demonstrated by asking staff who know the students and/or the students themselves to comment on the results of an attitudinal scale, to see whether they match their own opinions (Bennett, 2001).”
• Developing a Scale to Measure Students’ Attitudes toward Chemistry Lessons (2009, background): “Additionally, researchers such as Ramsden (1998) and Gardner (1975a, b) pointed out that many attitude scales developed or used in past studies lacked a theoretical framework (e.g., Adesoji & Raimi, 2004; Bennett et al., 2001; Dhindsa & Chung, 1999; Parkinson et al., 1998).”
• An Investigation of Students’ Personality Traits and Attitudes toward Science (2011, methodology): “…instruments [e.g., Trends in Mathematics and Science Study, TIMSS (Martin et al., 2004) and Personality Traits and Attitudes toward Science 1003 Programme for International Student Assessment 2006, PISA (OECD, 2007)] and previous studies (e.g., Bennett, 2001; Gogolin & Swartz, 1992; Lin, 1992).”
• Students’ Attitudes Toward Chemistry Lessons: The Interaction Effect between Grade Level and Gender (2009, background): “Bennett, Rollnick, Green and White (2001) also discovered that undergraduate students who had a less positive attitude to chemistry almost invariably obtained lower examination marks.”
• Examining Changing Attitudes in Secondary School Science (2008, background): “The study has also made an effort to be precise about the concept of attitudes, which has been much discussed in science education research literature (Bennett, 2001; Francis & Greer, 1999; Gardner, 1996; Germann, 1988; Osborne, Simon, & Collins, 2003; Reid, 2006).”
• Thoughts on attitude measurement (2006, background): “…p. 44), by conducting sample interviews (e.g., Reid & Skryabina 2000a; Shah, 2004), by developing the questions following discussions with the population concerned (Bennett et al., 2001) or by some external observation: are the outcomes from questions reflected in aspects of subsequent behaviour?”
