Abstract
The Quality of School Life (QSL) is defined by three dimensions of student reactions: (1) satisfaction with school in general, (2) commitment to school work, and (3) attitudes toward teachers. A 27-item QSL scale is presented that shows reliability and validity across educational levels (elementary, middle and high school) based on 4,266 student survey responses. Concurrent and discriminative validity is demonstrated using measures of academic achievement, participation, personality, family background, and sociometric data from peers and teachers. Scaling techniques, factor analysis, and an extension of Sechrest’s test for incremental validity document the multi-dimensional design of the scale.
