Preliminary Validation of the SCM in a Sample of Early Adolescent Public School Children
The school climate measure (SCM) has demonstrated robust psychometrics in regionally diverse samples of high school–aged adolescents, but remains untested among early adolescents. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to establish construct validity and measurement indices of the SCM using a sample of early adolescents from public schools located in Central Appalachia (n = 1,128). In addition, known-groups validity analyzed each SCM domain against self-reported academic achievement and school connection. Analyses confirmed all 10 SCM domains fit the data well with strong internal consistency and factor loadings. Known-groups analyses suggest students who reported higher academic achievement and school connection demonstrated higher perceptions of school climate. Findings provide evidence that extends the use of the SCM to early adolescents and may support school-based policy.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
