This study tested the quality of data collected with the online ESSP for Children from a diverse sample of 1,172 third through fifth graders. METHODS: Mplus confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) procedures for ordinal and clustered data were used. RESULTS: Of 80 original items, 61 loaded on 13 dimensions in a first-order model that had good fit in three random subsamples. Children in grades 3 through 5 may not be reliable reporters about neighborhood adults' caring. However, 12 statistically sound and independent dimensions related to school, peers, family, and well-being were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: The ESSP for Children provides school staff with quality data to use in conjunction with family and teacher ESSP data to guide intervention choices in schools.
本研究对从1172名三至五年级学生的多样化样本中通过在线儿童ESSP收集的数据质量进行了测试。方法:使用了针对有序和聚类数据的Mplus验证性因子分析(CFA)程序。结果:在80个原始项目中,61个项目在一阶模型的13个维度上有载荷,该模型在三个随机子样本中拟合良好。三至五年级的儿童可能不是邻里成年人关爱情况的可靠报告者。然而,获得了12个与学校、同伴、家庭和幸福感相关的统计上合理且独立的维度。结论:儿童ESSP为学校工作人员提供了高质量的数据,可与家庭和教师ESSP数据结合使用,以指导学校的干预选择。
