      Citation Excerpt :

      Another measure is Rose’s (1985) 24-item Attitude towards Writing Questionnaire (WAQ) which assesses writers’ attitude along with their self-efficacy beliefs and procrastination, editing and blocking behaviours. According to Phinney (1991), the WAQ does not mainly assess apprehension or attitude but it measures the feelings, beliefs and behaviours leading to the writer’s block. With regard to writing anxiety, the three scales used by Meier et al. (1984) and Fritzsche et al. (2003); Cheng (2004), and Woodrow (2011) are perhaps the only ones developed so far for measuring it.
