Abstract
The researches in attitudes toward mathematics are poor stuff in spite of necessity for the investigations in Japan. In foreign countries, in United States especially, the researches in attitude toward mathematics have been tackled since 1950's, and become more active in 1970's. In the present paper we shall review these antecedent researches and show the scales of semantic differential which are sensitive to the make-up problem test as an example. Moreover we shall discuss the future researches in attitude toward mathematics.
