Multifaktorielle Messung der selbstwahrgenommenen sozialen Integration mit dem SSI 3–4
摘要
The article describes the development of a questionnaire for the multifactorial measurement of self-perceived social integration (SSI 3–4) based on two studies with a total of n = 1283 students from n = 31 third-grade and n = 31 fourth-grade classes. In study 1, students were presented with an item pool based on existing instruments, which was then analyzed using an exploratory factor analysis. Six distinct and content-valid scales were identified, each consisting of four items: Recognition and Appreciation, Negative Interaction and Social Exclusion, Extracurricular Contact, Self-Disclosure and Emotional Support, Sympathy and Well-Being, and Academic Support. Study 2 confirmed the six-factor structure of the questionnaire through confirmatory factor analysis. Further factor analyses indicated a good fit for a bi-factor model with one global factor and six sub-factors. All scales showed moderate to strong correlations with two unidimensional scales of self-perceived social integration and weak to moderate correlations with social acceptance by peers.
