Summary.This paper describes ten attitude scales for use with pupils aged 9 to 11 years. These are: attitude to school; interest in school work; importance of doing well; attitude to class; ‘other’ image of class; conformingversusnon‐conforming pupil; relationship with teacher; anxiety about school work; social adjustment; self‐image.The scales were derived empirically and each is made up of a number of statements made by children during group discussions and selected after factor analyses and scalogram analyses. For each scale the aim has been to achieve homogeneity of content and where possible a cumulative structure. The internal consistency of each scale is expressed in terms of Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The intercorrelations of the scales with each other and also with external data are given. Information for the latter came from several sources. These were (a) personality and ability ratings of the pupil by the teacher; (b) parents' ability ratings and educational aspirations for the child; (c) sociometric data; (d) achievement test scores; and (e) interest
