The study examined multigroup invariance of Mathematics Self-efficacy and Attitude Scales (MSAS) and examined gender differences of MSAS across gender. The analysis of invariance was conducted to examine whether the items in the MSAS were operating equivalently between Year 9 female and male students in the state of Aceh, Indonesia. The analysis discovered the evidence of multigroup equivalence of the MSAS across gender (p value is not statistically significant or ∆CFI ≤ 0.01). An independent t-test found that attitude toward mathematics was significantly different between female and male students. Females had a more positive attitude toward mathematics.
