This study investigates how affective, behavioral, and cognitive components of computational thinking (CT) attitudes are measured in empirical studies.Findings show that (1) surveys were the most commonly used tools for measuring CT attitudes; (2) all three components were measured in CT studies; and (3) the affective component of CT attitudes was less likely to be measured compared to the behavioral and cognitive components.This review reframes the assessments of CT attitudes and provides a reference for researchers interested in measuring the attitudinal dimension of CT.Future studies are suggested to explore the alignment among the three components and the relationship between different components and CT skills.
