Findings showed that the conditional regard scale is saturated with four factors: conditional and positive academic regard, conditional and negative academic regard, conditional and positive emotional regard, and conditional and negative emotional regard. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were desirable for all subscales and the whole scale in both sexes and all participants in terms of psychometrics, and the range of most correlations of the material set was desirable.
