Assessing student affect has become an important aspect of chemistry education research over the past few decades, with Likert becoming a household name for most affect inventories. Students’ attitudes, interests and values have been known to dictate their academic paths in fairly profound ways; finding effective methods to measure affective outcomes is a crucial component of research, now more than ever. This symposium will include presentations on current inventories/instruments that measure affective outcomes, how these data have impacted cognitive achievements, teaching practices and student retention and what the future holds for research in this domain.
