The Simple School Belonging Scale: Working toward a Unidimensional Measure of Student Belonging
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v51 n3 p163-178 2018
Research focused on student belonging has sometimes used available measures in a unidimensional way despite evidence of multidimensionality in these scales. This study introduces a new unidimensional measure of school belonging that is psychometrically robust with preliminary evidence of construct validity that we call the Simple School Belonging Scale (SSBS).
