Abstract

This article reports on the development and validation of the Quantitative Attitudes Questionnaire (QAQ), a 20-item instrument measuring graduate students' attitudes toward quantitative research methodology. The QAQ was developed in a sample of 90 graduate students in education and was cross validated in 3 additional samples of similar size. The QAQ was found to correlate positively with quantitative exams and self-reported GRE-Math scores, and to differentiate doctoral versus master's students and students from research- versus teaching-oriented universities.
