“…The questionnaire was constructed based on the items in the California School Climate and Safety Survey (Furlong et al 2005). It includes a total of 14 items that are grouped into two factors and rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive power of effortful control (EC) and empathy for perception of school climate. Self-report measures of EC, dispositional empathy, and perception of school climate were obtained for 398 students (204 females) aged 12 to 13. Sociometric status was peer-evaluated, and academic achievement was based on students final grades at the end of the school year. The structural equation model that was developed confirms the influence of EC and empathy on perception of school climate. The model manages to explain 39 % of the variance in perception of school climate and confirms that for males and females alike, the predictive power of EC and empathy is greater than for other variables studied such as academic achievement and sociometric status. Further, EC and empathy are found to have a positive influence on academic achievement. The importance of developing activities to foster EC and empathy in order to facilitate interpersonal relationships and enhance perception of the school climate is discussed.Knowledge of the factors that foster a good social climate in schools is a subject of great interest in most western countries (Díaz-Aguado Jalón et al. 2010;Thapa et al. 2012). The perception of a positive school climate is related to lower levels of aggression and violence in schools Eur J Psychol Educ (2015) 30:457-472

This study examined the individual and interpersonal factors of peer sexual harassment victimization among Taiwanese adolescents. A random sample of 1,376 7th to 9th grade middle school students in Taichung City, Taiwan, completed questionnaires about their demographics, delinquency, peer/teacher interaction, and experience of being sexually harassed by peers. Approximately 25.4% of the respondents had suffered peer sexual harassment during the previous semester. Boys reported more exposure to sexual harassment than did girls. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed separately for boys and girls. Significant risk factors of peer sexual harassment victimization for both genders included being bullied by peers and teacher maltreatment. Boys' sexual harassment victimization was also associated with their involvement in fights. Peer relationship problems contributed to girls' sexual harassment victimization. These findings suggested the relevance of a hostile school climate to peer sexual harassment and the gender differences in risk factors.

r e s u M e n El clima escolar resulta de creciente interés para investigadores e instituciones educativas. Las estrategias de mejoramiento escolar basadas en evidencias han incluido el clima escolar para apoyar a los integrantes de comunidades educativas en la creación de escuelas seguras y comprometidas con el aprendizaje. Es necesario contar con instrumentos validados para la población latinoamericana, que permitan la investigación comparada. Presentamos los resultados de la validación de la Escala de Clima Escolar. El instrumento mide la percepción de estudiantes sobre la aplicación de normas, el apoyo de adultos y la participación. Se tradujo al español y se realizó un análisis psicométrico. La muestra fue de 4688 estudiantes chilenos, de 4º, 6º y 8º básico. Los resultados evidencian un alto nivel de consisten interna (α = 0.89) y de varianza explicada (54%). El modelo de tres factores mostró un buen ajuste, así como uno de cuatro factores, que separa las normas generales de las normas contra la violencia sexual.Palabras clave clima escolar; escala; validación; fiabilidad; validez a B s t r a c t School climate has received increased attention use by researchers and educational institutions. Evidence-based school improvement processes have included school climate as a means of helping create schools that are safe and committed with learning. It is necessary to count with valid measures of school climate for Latin American countries, which may allow for comparative research. We present the results of the validation of the School Climate Scale. The instrument measures students´ perceptions of norms, support from adults in the school, and participation. The scale was translated into Spanish and its psychometric properties were studied on a sample of 4,688 Chilean students from grades fourth, sixth, and eight. Findings show a high level on internal consistency (α = 0.89) and explained variance (54%). Structural equation models fit the data well, both for the three-factor solution as well a four-factor structure that separates general school norms from norms against sexual violence. The scale can facilitate data-driven decisions and may be incorporated into evidenced-based school improvement processes.
