Abstract
Abstract The current study examined the measurement invariance (MI) of the Georgia Brief School Climate Inventory (GaBSCI) with a rural and predominately Hispanic sample (N = 413). The results present support for the one-factor structure and MI of the GaBSCI across genders and Spanish-speaking groups, but only partially for different school levels.
期刊介绍:
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development is an official journal of the Association of Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC), a member association and division of the American Counseling Association. Articles range in appeal from those that deal with theoretical and other problems of the measurement specialist to those directed to the administrator, the counselor, or the personnel worker--in schools and colleges, public and private agencies, business, industry, and government. All articles clearly describe implications for the counseling field and for practitioners, educators, administrators, researchers, or students in assessment, measurement, and evaluation.
