Abstract

Education
Psychometric properties, statistical anxiety scale, convergent and divergent validities
The research study focused on the evaluation of psychometric properties of the statistical anxiety scale (SAS) using convergent and divergent validities in a study of undergraduate students offering statistics in Universities in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study utilized the ex-post facto research design and the population of the study comprised 5436 final-year students of the Universities situated in Cross River State, who were admitted into the 2017/2018 academic session. The sampling technique that was adopted for the study is the stratified sampling technique which is appropriate when the nature or characteristics of the population consist of several distinct sub-groups which need to be represented in the sample. The reason for the stratification is to ensure that a more representative sample is drawn for the study, reflecting attributes such as sex, age and academic discipline. The total sample of the study consisted of 1091 final year students and the data collection was a statistics anxiety questionnaire (SAQ) validated by experts which yielded a reliability coefficient of ‘statistics anxiety scale’ produced a Cronbach alpha and split-half reliability estimate of 0.78 and 0.89 and the statistical procedure used was the Factor analysis and the Correlation (Pearson Product Moment Coefficient). The findings revealed that the construct validity of the statistical anxiety scale (SAS) using convergent and divergent validities was high also, the scale reliability of the statistical anxiety scale (SAS) was high based on the fact that the instrument was reliable and valid it is therefore recommended for use among undergraduate students.
