摘要:Due to unavailability of a developed or adapted instrument for
statistical anxiety in Bangladesh context, the present study was designed to
adapt the Statistical Anxiety Scale (SAS) (Vigil-Colet et al., 2008). Adaptation
procedure was done by following guidelines of the International Test Commission
(ITC). The translated SAS was administered on a sample of 238 students
from the Chittagong University who were selected though non-probability sampling
techniques. The internal consistency reliabilities, content validity, and
construct validity were determined for assessing the psychometric properties of
the Bangla SAS. The item-total correlations, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory
factor analysis, correlation coefficients among the SAS and its subscales,
Cronbach’s Alphas, split-half reliability, composite reliability suggested
that the Bangla SAS would be a psychometrically sound measure to apply in
Bangladesh context.
