Questionnaire Details

The survey included the statistics self-efficacy items that you’ve developed during the practicals (and on Padlet). In addition, it also included a few other scales. Some of these have been included so that you can use to test the convergent and discriminant validity of your scale. These are described in more details below. It is up to you to decide which of these you want to include in your report and which you expect to correlate with your scale (convergent validity) and which ones you expect to not correlate (discriminant validity). However, you must include validity tests in your report

The only variables that we are using for this lab report.
