Measuring Meaning 1
Abstract
This study investigates the Meaning of Grades scale (Goulden & Griffin, 1997) to
determine its reliability and construct validity. The scale is found to be a one-
dimensional scale. Once 11 non-correlating items are discarded, the resulting 14 item
scale results in an alpha of 0.75. Further, the scale is correlated significantly with the
Implicit Theories of Intelligence scale (Dweck, 2000), suggesting interesting implications
for further research in understanding student and teacher communication about grades.
