Hello Naser
I don't know if there is anything here that is of relevance to what you need.
Prof. Martin Bauer - a ResearchGate member wrote a paper with co-authors that might be of interest to you:
Bauer, M. W., Petkova, K., & Boyadjieva, P. (2000). Public knowledge of and attitudes to science: Alternative measures that may end the “science war”. Science, Technology & Human Values, 25(1), 30-51.

The following paper is quite old now, but may be relevant:
Moore, R. W., & Foy, R. L. H. (1997). The scientific attitude inventory: A revision(SAI II). Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 34(4), 327-336.

The paper below may have some useful leads:

It has been commented upon by Dr Zeidler - ResearchGate:

These papers were written regarding a younger age group but some of the references may be applicable:
