Therefore, in this study, the Attitude to the Study of Chemistry Inventory (ASCI) ? a validated instrument to quantify attitude, was used to measure attitude to chemistry in 125 undergraduates studying an introductory course in chemistry, as part of a BSc Chemistry major.

Sub-scales within ASCI which quantify the `affective' and `cognitive' components of attitude were determined.
