Positive Psychology Characteristics as Predictors of School Climate among Hispanic/Latinx Students
Lenz, A. Stephen; Bledsoe, Kenya G.; Placeres, Vanessa
Professional School Counseling, v25 n1 2021
We used multiple regression analyses to explore ways that hope, resilience, and happiness influenced school climate among 380 Hispanic/Latinx students. The results suggested that hypothesized protective factors explained school climate to a greater degree among middle school participants (R[superscript 2] = 0.23) when compared to those in high school (R[superscript 2] = 0.13). Although hope positively influenced school climate for both groups, happiness and resilience were uniquely influential. We discuss considerations for classroom lessons and school-wide initiatives.
