This study is an exploration of the attitude of low \nsocio-economic whites and non-whites toward themselves and \nstandardized testing and an attempt to determine if an individual's \nself-image is related to his attitude toward testing. \nA Self-Image Example-Anchored Rating Scale was developed \nand administered to determine an individual's self-concept. \nA Semantic Differential Rating Scale was adapted to determine \nattitude toward standardized testing. The Semantic Differential \nalso investigated attitudes toward authority, peer \ngroups and surroundings. Two hundred East-San Francisco Bay \nArea continuation school students, homogeneously grouped, \ncomprised the population. The Semantic Differential and Self-Image \nExample-Anchored Rating Scale were administered in four \ncontinuation schools, results were tabulated and subjected \nto computer analysis. Self-Image ratings divided the population \ninto four groups. These four groups were analyzed for \ncorrelations and variance. A factor analysis was performed \nto determine relationship of variables. \nResults of the investigation demonstrated significant \nrelationship between self-image and attitude toward standardized \ntesting.
