“…In five articles the development of a new instrument was described (Brand, Felner, Shim, Seitsinger, & Dumas, 2003;Cemalcilar, 2010;Cocorada & Clinciu, 2009;Hurford et al, 2010;Soderstrom & Elrod, 2006). In five articles, further instrument development and its application were reported (Aldridge & Ala'l, 2013;Boren, Callahan, & Peugh, 2011;Furlong et al, 2005;Smith, 2005;Yang et al, 2013), and in two articles (Dong, Liu, & Ding, 2012;Zullig et al, 2010), school climate was assessed using a battery of instruments (i.e., using subscales of several different measures).…”

“…Nineteen scales and subscales, which cover different aspects of school victimization and safety, were reported for this 154-item measure (Soderstrom & Elrod, 2006): school safety (controlled and uncontrolled context), victimization, delinquency at school, delinquency outside school, weapon threat response, school problems (substance abuse, other problems), victimization response, school climate, future goals, attachment to school, importance of others, alienation (internal, external), negative peer influence (trouble, educational goals), and general strain (family composition, others). Nineteen scales and subscales, which cover different aspects of school victimization and safety, were reported for this 154-item measure (Soderstrom & Elrod, 2006): school safety (controlled and uncontrolled context), victimization, delinquency at school, delinquency outside school, weapon threat response, school problems (substance abuse, other problems), victimization response, school climate, future goals, attachment to school, importance of others, alienation (internal, external), negative peer influence (trouble, educational goals), and general strain (family composition, others).…”

School climate measurement is a long-standing topic in educational research. This review article provides an overview and appraisal of school climate measures published between 2003 and 2013 in scientific journals. A search for published school climate instruments for secondary school students was made in three databases. Twelve articles meeting the inclusion criteria were identified and included. Each measure is described in terms of contents, and psychometric and formal quality criteria. Most of the reviewed measures showed good or acceptable results in reliability analyses but insufficient validity testing. Theory-grounding for measurement development is often missing. All instruments include items addressing the relationship among students and between students and teachers while the environmental-structural area is considered the least. This review provides a compact overview of recently published studies using school climate instruments that have also been tested psychometrically. This may be useful for schools, practitioners, and researchers.

“…four derived from earlier investigations which indicated some environmental characteristics of schools may influence the behavior of students: school level (i.e., middle school, high school, college; Soderstrom & Elrod, 2006), location (i.e., urban vs rural; Renfro, Huebner, Callahan, & Ritchey, 2003), ethnicity ratios (Newman, et al, 2004), and enrollment, as a proxy for school size (kaiser, 2005). further, the source of funding for the schools, public versus private, was examined.…”

Characteristics of Schools in Which Fatal Shootings Occur

et al. 2012

School-based violence, and fatal school shootings in particular, have gained increased attention in the media and psychological literature. Most reports have focused on the characteristics of perpetrators, but there is a growing awareness that school-related factors may also influence the occurrence of fatal school shootings. The current study examined several key characteristics of all schools where random (38) and targeted (96) fatal shootings occurred in the United States between 1966 and 2009. These were compared with a group (138) of schools randomly selected to represent the population of all schools in the United States. The size of a school's enrollment, urban or suburban locale, public funding, and predominantly non-white enrollment were positively associated with fatal shootings. Universities and colleges were disproportionately associated with random shootings and high schools with targeted ones. It was proposed that characteristics of schools that allow feelings of anonymity or alienation among students may help create environmental conditions associated with fatal school shootings. Implications for future research and interventions are considered.

Theoretical predictors of delinquency among a sample of rural and small town youths are examined by testing the impact of numerous theoretical indices both within in-school and out-of-school settings, while also examining gender, through the use of structural equation models. Our findings suggest the impact of theoretical predictors on delinquency varies not only by gender, but by social context as well. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.
