Validity of the Quality of School Life Scale: A Primary and Second-Order Factor Analysis.

Johnson, William L.; Johnson, Annabel M.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v53 n1 p145-53 Spr 1993

Primary and second-order principal components analyses were performed on the Quality of School Life Scale (QSL), a measure of elementary school climate, for responses of 141 fourth through sixth graders. Findings suggest three general factors, but item composition of subscales differs somewhat from that proposed by the QSL's developers. (SLD)
