A psychometric investigation of the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes. Applied Psychological Measurement, 4, 195-201. doi:10.1177/014662168000400206doi:10.1177/014662168000400206https://hdl.handle.net/11299/100076The present study investigated the reliability of the previously hypothesized four-factor model of the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA; Brown & Holtzman, 1953, 1967). The reliabilities of the scales were marginal as measured by coefficient alpha. The hierarchical model of the SSHA was not supported by confirmatory factor analysis. Numerous test items were found to load highest on a factor other than the one hypothesized by the Brown-Holtzman model. In addition, many items exhibited very low communalities and failed to load highly on any factor.enArticle
