Principal factor analysis was performed on all concepts. Nine principal factors emerged and these factors were identified by the characteristics they had in common. Analysis of variance tests and t tests were utilized to test for differences in attitudes of children in the public and private schools at the three stages of technological development. Differences significant at the .01 level or above were found for all nine factors according to location of schools.
