Abstract
This study assesses the psychometric properties of the School Support Scale (SSS), part of the CHKS’s Resilience Youth Development Module (RYDM; Furlong et al., 2009 ), among 231 sixth- and seventh-grade students in urban public schools in Chile. Results indicated satisfactory psychometric properties, replicating a unifactorial structure observed in prior research ( Hanson & Kim, 2007 ), where items related to caring relationships and high expectations loaded onto a single factor, school support. Significant correlations were found with measures of life satisfaction and school-related affect. These findings underscore the scale’s utility in evaluating student perceptions of school support and highlight avenues for future research to enhance its applicability across diverse educational contexts.
本研究评估了智利城市公立学校231名六、七年级学生的学校支持量表(SSS)的心理测量特性,该量表是CHKS抗逆力青少年发展模块(RYDM;Furlong等人,2009年)的一部分。结果表明,该问卷具有令人满意的心理测量特性,复制了之前研究中观察到的单因子结构(Hanson & Kim, 2007),其中与关爱关系和高期望值相关的项目被加载到一个因子--学校支持上。研究还发现,该量表与生活满意度和与学校相关的情感测量之间存在显著的相关性。这些发现强调了该量表在评估学生对学校支持的看法方面的实用性,并强调了未来研究的途径,以提高其在不同教育背景下的适用性。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment (JPA) publishes contemporary and important information focusing on psychological and educational assessment research and evidence-based practices as well as assessment instrumentation. JPA is well known internationally for the quality of published assessment-related research, theory and practice papers, and book and test reviews. The methodologically sound and impiricially-based studies and critical test and book reviews will be of particular interest to all assessment specialists including practicing psychologists, psychoeducational consultants, educational diagnosticians and special educators.
