The study's overall question was tested with multilevel analyses of survey and test data from 193,073 15-year-old students in 41 countries, examining whether SOBAS "differed across attributes of countries, families, schools, teachers, or students". No effect size is printed in the available text.
"This study examined whether students’ sense of belonging at school (SOBAS) differed across attributes of countries, families, schools, teachers, or students."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Family, schoolmate, teacher, and student characteristics are linked to SOBAS and account for most of its variance — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Students in more egalitarian cultures often have higher sense of belonging at school than students in more hierarchical cultures — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- The teacher-student relationship has the strongest link with students' sense of belonging at school and mediates the link between egalitarianism and SOBAS — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Collectivism is not significantly linked to students' sense of belonging at school — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- The belonging–outcome association is stronger in some cultural groups than others: reported moderation by ethnicity and by individualism–collectivism — related
