The Social Context of School Satisfaction among Urban, Low-Income, African-American Students.

Baker, Jean A.

School Psychology Quarterly, v13 n1 p25-44 Spr 1998

Classroom social climate, stress, social support, quality of family life, psychological distress, and academic self-concept were modeled in a path analysis as predictors of school satisfaction (N=129). A caring, supportive school community was most predictive of students' satisfaction. Implications for prevention and intervention efforts with at-risk children are discussed. (Author/EMK)
