Diminishing student attitude toward the student evaluation of teaching (SET surveys) and its correlational effect on reduced survey response quality is a major concern. The use of SET to assess instructors for promotion and tenure extension is common and yet controversial in institutions of higher learning. As students become subjected to multiple surveys in a semester, their attitude toward SET may change and disrupt both the response rate and the response quality. The purpose of this cross-sectional correlation study was to investigate the relationship between student attitude toward SET and the perceived survey response quality at a community college in the southwest region of the US. A total of 3,800 students enrolled during the spring semester of 2020 who had completed SET surveys in the past participated in the study. Findings indicated a strong positive correlation between attitude and quality (r = 0.738, p = 0.001). The accountability measures that depend on SET data may be less accurate due to student attitude that relates to the survey response quality. Considering the positive relationship between student attitude and perceived survey response quality, it is essential to foster a positive attitude to students to improve survey response quality. The second set of findings indicated a non-significant weak correlation between student factors and quality (r < ± 0. 5, p > 0.05). The limited evidence of a correlation between student factors (gender, college generation type, ethnicity, GPA, and age range) and survey response quality means that striving to identify student factors as a means of improving survey response quality may be speculative. Recommendations for future practice and research included learning the indicators for improving student attitude, exploring student attitude qualitatively for relevant themes, and the expansion of the study to cover a larger geographic base for more inclusive research samples.
