The Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitude Scales are among the most popular measures used in studies of attitudes toward mathematics. However, the measurement integrity of the scores produced by the measure has not yet been conclusively established. The present study explored this measurement integrity issue by employing data provided by public elementary school teachers of mathematics. Both the measure's factor structure and the measure's sensitivity to social desirability response set were investigated.
