Realizing need of research tool, researchers have to develop a scale to measure attitude of Datepalm growers towards scientific Datepalm cultivation technology. Among the techniques available for construction of scale, the methodology suggested by Likert (1932) and Edward (1957) was used in this study for scale construction and for ascertaining the response of the scale. The technique chosen to construct the attitude scale was of “Scale Product Methodâ€ which combines the technique of “Equal Appearing Interval Scaleâ€ of Thurston (1946) for selection of the items and Likert’s techniques of summated rating for ascertaining the response on the scale as proposed by Eysenck and Crown (1949). The scale contains total 23 statements. The co-efficient of reliability was calculated by Rulon’s formula (Guilford, 1954), which came to 0.832. The responses can be collected on five points continuum viz., strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree and strongly disagree with respective weights of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for the unfavourable statements No. 2, 5, 6, 8, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 and with the respective weights of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 for remaining favourable statements
