Abstract
The Children's Pictorial Attitude Scale was developed to provide a nonverbal measure of children's attitudes toward elementary school. The scale was developed by identifying areas of activities and drawing pictures representing these areas. The children are instructed to respond according to how they would feel if they were in one of these picture situations. The scale yielded a split-half reliability coefficient of .69 from 607 pupils in grades 1-6. Scores on the scale have discriminated among pupils in the six grade levels.Keywords
