Abstract

Although concern about school disorder has increased dramatically in recent years, little systematic attention has been given to its measurement or to separating its diverse causal influences. Measures used in research have included self-reported victimization, fear, delinquency, misconduct, and school-recorded incident rates. In this paper I explore the effects of several major dimensions of school climate and individual student characteristics on five different measures of school disorder. I examine survey responses from 4,640 middle school student, using MANCOVA. Schools vary significantly on all five measures of disorder: both student characteristics and school climate variables provide significant explanatory power for each. Patterns of results vary, however, for different measures of disorder. For example, between-school effects are much stronger for students' misconduct than for more serious offending. Implications for research and policy on school disorder are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
