Development and Validation of a Scale Measuring Public Attitudes toward Science Based on the Rasch Model
Public attitudes toward science constitute a key research focus in the field of science popularization.This study develops a scale for measuring public attitudes toward science based on psychological assumptions and validates it through the Rasch Model,examining its unidimensionality,local independence,structural validity,item fit,person fit,and rating scale functioning.The validated scale effectively measures the construct of"public attitudes toward science"and can be applied in subsequent research.Additionally,the Rasch Model proves to be a valuable supplementary tool for assessing the micro-level impacts of science popularization.
