The sample was 387 secondary school students from five high schools in Albania. The original questionnaire measures five attitude components, which are enjoyment, self-efficacy, importance of physics, achievement-motivation, and interest related behavior. The data collected from five high schools was analyzed and similar factor structures were found as in the original questionnaire.
