Students' physics identity dataset

Description

In this study, students' physics identity was defined based on two close-ended items asking the students' study time for physics and the experienced family recognition when they are studying physics.

Usage

data(physicsidentity)

Format

A data frame with 497 observations on the following 2 physics identity items.

PHYIDE1

When did you study physics outside schools? 1 = Most of the time, 2 = Night before the physics schedule, 3 = Night before exam, 4 = Never

PHYIDE2

Did your parents support you while studying physics? 1 = Yes, 2 = Lack of parental support, 3 = Extremely no
