Abstract Research courses are part of many higher education curricula. However, students’ attitudes towards statistics and research tend to be negative. One way measure attitude is with the Revised-Attitudes Towards scale (R-ATR). The current study examined: (1) internal reliability R-ATR, (2) Dutch second-year architecture students courses, (3) whether related age gender. It was found that R-ATR has good reasonably favorable. Students generally acknowledge usefulness do not feel anxious, but find them stressful difficult some extent enjoy them. Further analyses showed three types students: relaxed students, virtuous worried who each require a different approach improving their courses.
