Scientific Attitudes Inventory II (SAI II)

Description

The Scientific Attitudes Inventory II (SAI II) assesses students' interest in science, their attitudes toward science, their views of scientists, and their desire to become scientists. The 40-item SAI II includes position statements of attitudes assessed and attitude statements that were originally included in the original SAI, with changes made only to improve readability and to eliminate gender-biased language. All items use a 5-point Likert scale.  

The linked article provides instrument documentation for the SAI II.

Authors provide instrument validity and/or reliability information.
