Title: Information Theory and Attitude Formation in Economic Education
Abstract: Hodgin presents an econometric model in which attitudes toward economics are modified by performance in the course (as grades accumulate) and in which performance is modified by changes in attitude. The "results" support the economics of information rationale that informational messages about performance in economics affect attitude.
