  text: "The purpose of the research was to develop and validate an instrument for
    the assessment of attitudes towards the study environment in higher education
    contexts. The questionnaire is designed to measure students' attitudes towards
    two particular objects: the university (or Higher Education Institution) and the
    process of studying. Five studies at two different universities were conducted
    to develop and validate the Attitudes towards the Study Environment Questionnaire
    (ASEQ). In total, 1640 students filled in the questionnaire. Reliability tests
    and exploratory factor analysis as well as confirmatory factor analysis showed
    satisfactory psychometric characteristics of the ASEQ. Each part of the questionnaire
    is internally consistent and construct validity of the scales is supported by
    correlations with other constructs as assumed by current theories: Positive attitudinal
    constructs (normative behavior, autonomy, joy, self-efficacy, and task value)
    are positively related to intrinsic motivation and the expected study performance
    while anxiety is negatively related to these constructs. \r\nSince attitudes towards
    the study situation are connected to student engagement and motivation, the study
    contributes to the theory of student learning by providing a validated instrument
    to assess attitudes. Thus, the ASEQ can support further research on student performance
    and development by providing an instrument for the hitherto neglected but nonetheless
    extremely relevant domain of attitudes. Also, the questionnaire can be used as
    a diagnostic instrument for higher education faculty and administration to trace
    students' attitudinal development over time - a factor of prime importance for
    student socialization during the introductory phase of studying."
