Abstract:
A primary and second-order principal components analysis was performed on the Quality of School Life Scale (QSL), a popular measure of elementary school climate. The scale was administered to 141 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students in an elementary school in the Southwestern United States. The findings of this study, like the information reported in the Administration and Technical Manual for the QSL scale, suggest that there are three general factors for the instrument. However, the item composition of the instrument's subscales differ somewhat from those proposed by the scale's developers. Possible reasons for this outcome are examined and discussed.
