The Bilingual Education Attitudes Survey

The analysis for the Bilingual Education Attitudes Survey theorizes that items in the survey have a strong correlation, which demonstrates evidence for construct validity.

Moreover, when analyzing the correlation between the BE Attitudes Survey and the Social Desirability Index, there is a very weak correlation between both the first administration (r= .12) and the second administration (r= .26). This means that the
