Construct Summary
The authors define the scale as a measure of students’ attitudes towards the use of humanoid robots in educational settings. The scale consists of four factors defined as:
- engagement - concern the learners’ involvement in the lesson (p. 385)
2. enjoyment - aimed to measure the learners’ views of the robot as a source of entertainment in the class (p. 385)
3. intention - reflect their intended communication with the robot in the future lessons (p. 385)
4. anxiety - items that target to reveal the sources of fear, anxiety and avoidance associated with the use of robots in the class

| Check? | Guideline Item |
|---|---|
| ✓ | Is the construct defined? |
| ✓ | Does the final version of the items capture the construct as it has been defined by the authors? |
| ✓ | Is the item generation process discussed (e.g., literature review, Delphi method, crowd-sourcing)? |
| ✖ | Person to items 10:1 for the initial set of items? |
| ✓ | Did they perform an EFA, PCA, Rasch, or similar test to determine the item to factor relationship? |
| ✓ | Did they describe how they determined number of factors? |
| ✖ | Did they report the full initial set of items? |
| ✖ | Did they provide loadings (EFA) or item fits (Rasch) of all items? |
| ✓ | Is there a description of the item removal process (e.g., using infit/outfit, factor loading minimum value, or cross-loading values)? |
| ✓ | Did they list the final items included in the scale? |
| ✖ | Did they include a factor structure test (e.g., second EFA, CFA, DIF, test for unidimensionality when using Rasch, or similar)? |
| ✓ | Was a measure of reliability (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha, McDonalds Omega_h or Omega_t, Tarkkonen’s Rho) reported? |
| ✖ | Was a test of validity (e.g., predictive, concurrent, convergent, discriminant) reported? |
Comments Factor loadings only reported on final set of items, item removal process was described but not replicable
