Related Claims¶
- SOBAS differs across attributes of countries, families, schools, teachers, and students in 41 countries — a broader claim this one bears on

- The teacher-student relationship has the strongest link with students' sense of belonging at school and mediates the link between egalitarianism and SOBAS — related
- Family, schoolmate, teacher, and student characteristics are linked to SOBAS and account for most of its variance — a broader claim this one bears on
- The belonging–outcome association is stronger in some cultural groups than others: reported moderation by ethnicity and by individualism–collectivism — related
