Abstract

This paper presents the development of a multi-item scale for measuring the youths’ achievement attitudes. The attitudinal scale called BEHAVE, is developed through a scientific research process with relevant psychometric property assessments.

The scale is found to be a reliable and valid and it consists of six dimensions with nineteen items. The dimensions are namely: Belief (5 items), Excellence (3 items), Holiness (2 items), Appearance (2 items), Value-learning (5 items) and Emotion (2 items). Hence, the acronym – BEHAVE.
