Abstract: In order to determine the effects of sex, grade level, region, and academic preparation on energy opinions, selected items from Kuhn's revision of Wert's Energy Opinionnaire were constructed into a criterion measure on total score and three sub-scale scores. The Ss were 251 secondary school students from two regions of the country and an academically prepared class of secondary students enrolled in a course entitled ?Science and the Economics of Energy.? The data were analyzed first to compare selected chi-square results of the study with results reported by Kuhn and to compare Alpha Statements. The second phase included the use of ANOVA and Scheffe Comparisons. In general, there were significant differences in ANOVA results by sex, region of the country and, to some extent, academic preparation. There were no significant results by grade level or conservation.
