Hirao, Katsura – ProQuest LLC, 2011
A self-report assessment scale of school connectedness was validated in this study based on the data from middle-school children in a northeastern state of the United States (n = 145). The scale was based on the School Bonding Model (Morita, 1991), which was derived reductively from the social control (bond) theory (Hirschi, 1969). This validation…

During the 3 years of this study, 15,932 students in Grades 6 through 9 were screened with the…
