This study used the Attitudes towards Research Scale (Papanastasiou, 2005) to assess the attitudes of 201 randomly selected postgraduate students of teacher education programs from public and private universities in Pakistan. It was hypothesized that students hold positive attitudes toward different aspects of research. This scale consisted of 32 items having 5 constructs: usefulness of research in a career, research anxiety, positive attitudes toward research, research relevance to life, and research difficulty. Data were collected by self-administered approach. Data were gathered from the trainee teachers during their class time. Three programs (B.S honors/ M.A education, (N = 63), M.Phil / MS education (N = 114), and PhD education (N = 24) were selected as a sample of the study. Data were analyzed by using t-test and ANOVA. Results indicated that the males had significantly positive attitudes towards research than the females. Similarly significant results were found on age, different programs of study, and university type.  \nKeywords: Attitudes, Research, Anxiety, Postgraduate Students  \n*Assistant Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Education, Lahore  \nEmail: [sadaishch@msn.com](sadaishch@msn.com)  \n** Assistant Professor, Institute of Education, Lahore College for Women University, Lahore  \nEmail: [aishahsid@gmail.com](aishahsid@gmail.com)  \n***Assistant Professor, Institute of Education and Research University of the Punjab, Lahore [Email: abiodullah.ier@pu.edu.pk](Email: abiodullah.ier@pu.edu.pk)  \n**** Professor, Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore  \nIntroduction  \nResearch plays a significant role in our daily life. All inventions have been possible with the help of research. With the help of research human being were able to find the cure for flue, polio and many other horrible diseases. Not only in medicine, had it also helped a lot in technology. Talking to long distance relatives is the outcome of research in technology (Gross, 2001) . Research is the process of collecting and analyzing information to increase our understanding of the phenomenon under study (Swindoll, 2012) . The aim of the research is to contribute towards the understanding of the phenomenon and then to communicate that understanding to others. It gives rewarding learning experiences for students, producing graduates capable of high personal and professional achievement (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975) .  \nAttitude is positive or negative affect towards a particular subject. Bidimensional definition of attitude includes beliefs as well regarding subject. Comprehensive definition of attitude includes emotions, beliefs, behaviors and their interaction (Zan & Martino, 2007).The attitude towards research basically means a detailed study of thinking, feeling and the person’s behavior towards research. According to Papanastasiou (2005), it is important to identify the attitudes towards research so that a positive attitude can be developed among students and hence their learning can be facilitated in turn.  \nA number of researches have been conducted to explore the attitude towards research and the results showed that attitudes towards research are generally not positive. Students think that it is tough and dry to study the research (Adams & Holcomb, 1986) . They do not understand the concepts of research and its importance in their professional life. Patak and Naim (2012) found that the attitude of students of English as Second Language and English as Foreign Language towards visiting library was very poor. They lack basic research skills ranging from searching and evaluating literature sources to paraphrasing and giving citations.
