q2 · i? · causal · r2

Second administration of the 20-item attitude questionnaire after the treatment, analyzed with Chi-Square (Pearson Chi-Square 122.062, df 4, Sig. .000) and Spearman's rho. The rho of .854 with positive items versus .565 with negative items "suggests a positive direction in students’ attitude".

"The results show that the correlation found between the positive items and the total number of responses is higher than the correlation between the scores on the ne gative questions and the total score. The figure 0.85 is much higher than 0.56, which suggests a positive direction in students’ attitude."
