跨域分析被用来检验两个态度维度的变化：学生对科学的态度和对科学效用的态度在初中和高中阶段。444名学生的样本是从美国青年纵向研究中挑选出来的。结果表明，学生对科学效用的态度总体趋势是积极的，但在初中和高中阶段，学生对科学的态度呈下降趋势。这两种态度的重要时变预测因素包括科学自我概念、同伴态度、教师对科学的鼓励，以及较小程度的学生参与科学活动。
Cross-domain analysis was used to examine changes in two attitudinal dimensions: students' attitudes towards science and attitudes about the utility of science over the middle school and high school years. A sample of 444 students was selected from the Longitudinal Study of American Youth. The results show that the overall trend for students' attitudes about the utility of science is positive; however, attitudes towards science decline over the middle school and high school years. Important time-varying predictors of both attitudes include science self-concept, peer attitudes, teacher encouragement of science, and, to a lesser extent, student participation in science activities.
