The review's synthesis of the four studies (8%) measuring writing attitude, operationalized variously as liking of writing, attitudes about leisure writing, or affect toward writing, reports a consistent ordered pattern across liking, ambivalence, and disliking.

"Participants who liked writing or had higher positive writing affects reported the highest writing self-efficacy in all studies. Self-efficacy levels were the lowest in students who reported disliking writing, and medium in students who expressed ambivalence about writing"
