The Effects of Order of Test Administration on Environmental Attitudes
Armstrong, J. B., & Impara, J. C. (1990). The effects of order of test administration on environmental attitudes. Journal of Environmental Education, 21, 3, 37-39.
Administered 1 of 4 knowledge tests based on the content of 4 issues of the National Wildlife Federation's NatureScope to 101 5th- and 6th-grade students in conjunction with a measure of environmental attitudes. Approximately half of the Ss took the attitude measure followed by the knowledge measure; the testing order was reversed for the remaining Ss. Attitude scores were significantly altered by the order of test administration.
