Abstract

Attitude exhibits a pivotal role in influencing one’s behaviour towards any psychological object. The present study aimed at developing and validating a multi-dimensional attitude scale on Conservation Agricultural practices based on Maheshwari–Kumar–Jhamtani– Bhaskaran–Dandapani (M-K-J-B-D) method. The steps included item collection, item selection, item analysis, conducting Principal Component Analysis to extract the underlying dimensions and finally calculation of attitude scores. A total of 75 attitudinal items were pooled initially covering various aspects of Conservation Agriculture (CA) and were subjected to item relevancy checking and item analysis. The final scale contained 25 attitudinal statements under eight sub-dimensions. The reliability of the scale was measured by using Cronbach’s Alpha and the reliability coefficient was found to be 0.80 which was satisfactory. The validity was assessed using content validity method by dispensing the finalized scale to 10 subject related experts. This standardized scale can be used by other academicians of related fields with or without modifications to measure attitude of farmers towards different aspects of Conservation Agriculture.
测度农民保护性农业实践态度的多维尺度研究
态度在影响一个人对任何心理对象的行为方面发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在基于Maheshwari-Kumar-Jhamtani - Bhaskaran-Dandapani (M-K-J-B-D)方法开发和验证保护性农业实践的多维态度量表。步骤包括项目收集、项目选择、项目分析,进行主成分分析提取潜在维度,最后计算态度得分。最初共收集了75个态度题,涵盖了保护性农业的各个方面,并进行了项目相关性检查和项目分析。最终量表包含8个子维度下的25个态度陈述。采用Cronbach 's Alpha法对量表进行信度测试,信度系数为0.80,达到满意水平。采用内容效度法,将定稿的量表分发给10位学科相关专家进行效度评估。这个标准化的量表可以被其他相关领域的学者使用,无论修改与否,都可以用来衡量农民对保护农业不同方面的态度。
