“…They also report high levels of school connectedness, peer attachment, assertiveness, and empathy. Research by Farina [97] found that positive school climate predicts bullying incidence. Eliot et al [98] found that students who perceived having supportive teachers and school staff members are more likely to have a positive attitude towards help-seeking for bullying and threats of violence.…”

The lack of research on cyberbullying among Indonesian adolescents has become one of the critical arguments of this research. This study aimed to discover the factors that contribute to cyberbullying. This study took samples of students from three schools. The sample was 112 junior to senior high school students. The findings of this study indicate that school climate, parent-child relationship, and empathy have a significant role that encourages cyberbullying.

“…For this reason, replications with newer data are vital. It is important to highlight, however, existing studies on this topic that used more recent data have reported similar results (Farina, 2019;Jeong et al, 2013;Konishi et al, 2017). For example, a study by Jeong et al (2013) that examined school environment and bullying victimization using data collected from 2005 to 2007 found school fairness significantly and negatively predicted bullying victimization.…”

“…A more recent study by Konishi et al (2017) that assessed school climate and bullying using data from 2008 reported similar findings. Finally, Farina (2019) examined the same issue using recent School Climate Supplement data and found that a more positive school climate was associated with less bullying.…”

Recent research has shown a link between fairness in terms of school rules and discipline and negative student outcomes, including delinquency, violent behavior, and victimization. The current study examines how fairness at school impacts bullying victimization—operationalized as repeated physical, psychological, or verbal victimization—among high school sophomores. We tested this hypothesis using one wave of the Educational Longitudinal Study (2002). The findings of negative binomial regression analyses indicate bullying victimization is more prevalent among students who believe that their schools are unfair. A number of student characteristics were also significantly related to experiencing bullying. Implications for policy and practice are outlined.

“…Thus, a positive school climate is positively associated with academic achievement (Astor et al, 2013;Berkowitz et al, 2017;Demirtas-Zorbaz et al, 2021;Ebbert and Luthar, 2021), academic self-efficacy (Zysberg and Schwabsky, 2021), and academic motivation, which is the driving force behind student academic performance (Volk, 2020;Wang et al, 2020). A positive school climate has also been associated with reduced violence and victimization in schools (Astor et al, 2002;Espelage and Swearer, 2003;Farina, 2019) and decreased student delinquency and substance abuse (Zullig et al, 2010;Thapa et al, 2013). Decreased dropout rates (Freudenberg and Ruglis, 2007) and improved math achievement (Berkowitz et al, 2015) are also linked to a positive school climate (Capp et al, 2020).…”

School Climate Questionnaire: A New Tool for Assessing the School Environment

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The school environment is of great importance for the socialization of children. At school, children learn many values, rules, and skills that relate to building relationships that include friendship, support, and competition. The school largely shapes children's behavior and expectations from society in the future. This study validates the new 22-item School Climate Questionnaire (SCQ) using a sample of Russian school students. A total of 4,776 respondents from 9 to 18 years old participated in the correlational study and filled the online-survey that includes SCQ. The Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), and the Academic Motivation Scale were used to examine the convergent validity of the SCQ. Two hypotheses were examined that the new tool SCQ has structural validity (three factors) and convergent validity (which is proven by the significant correlations with victimization, aggression, mental wellbeing, and academic motivation). According to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), it was shown that the questionnaire has three factors; their reliability is satisfactory. As expected, the results revealed significant correlations between the three scales of SCQ and scales of Victimization, Aggression, Mental Well-Being, and different types of Academic Motivation. The SCQ is a reliable and valid instrument that may be recommended for use by researchers and practitioners in different areas of educational psychology.
