Abstract

National policies have targeted widespread exclusionary discipline in schools which is associated with negative academic outcomes. Principals play an important role in making disciplinary decisions, yet little is understood about how their mindsets might impact these decisions. We hypothesized that principals’ mindsets regarding the purpose of discipline (exclusion vs. prevention) would predict their responses to misbehavior. In a random, nationwide sample (N = 234), principals responded to misbehavior by a hypothetical Black or White student. Exclusion beliefs predicted more severe discipline, whereas prevention beliefs predicted greater endorsement of referring the student to a school counselor. Principal mindsets also predicted exclusionary discipline in real-world contexts.

主要信念预测对个别学生不当行为的反应

国家政策针对的是学校中普遍存在的排他性纪律，这种纪律与消极的学业成绩有关。校长在制定纪律决定方面发挥着重要作用，但人们对他们的心态如何影响这些决定知之甚少。我们假设校长关于纪律目的的心态(排斥与预防)可以预测他们对不良行为的反应。在一个随机的全国样本(N = 234)中，校长对一个假设的黑人或白人学生的不当行为做出了反应。排斥信念预示着更严厉的纪律，而预防信念预示着将学生转介给学校辅导员的更大支持。校长心态也预示着现实环境中的排他性纪律。
