Computational self concept and worth of statistics are two main components of attitudes toward statistics, but little was known about Chinese master’s students in this regard. This article surveyed 137 master’s students from linguistics, educational and medical sciences on the scales of computational self concept and worth of statistics. A confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two attitude scales had good reliability and validity, and were highly correlated. The master’s students’ worth of statistics depended to a large extent on their computational self concept, with quite a few students intimidated by statistics, disapproving of statistics courses, and underestimating the general values of statistics. It is suggested that statistics teaching should prioritize statistical thinking, dispel the entrenched prejudice against statistics so as to improve the status of statistics as a liberal discipline.
