WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Anti-Vaccination Attitudes Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

vaccination

This brief self-report measure is designed to assess generalized negative attitudes toward vaccination. The Anti-Vaccination Attitudes Scale provides a rapid snapshot of vaccine-related beliefs that may be relevant to health behavior research and screening contexts.

It consists of 6 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items are commonly administered using a fixed-response format (e.g., agreement ratings or yes/no options), allowing efficient administration in group or individual settings.

Interpretation focuses on the overall level of anti-vaccination attitude as reflected by the item responses; higher endorsement generally indicates more negative vaccination attitudes. The Anti-Vaccination Attitudes Scale has been attributed to Martin Fishbein and Icek Ajzen.
