ABSTRACT

Objective: This study investigated the validity of the Social Emotional Health Survey–Primary (SEHS-P;Furlong et al., 2013), which assesses four wellness dispositions (gratitude, optimism, zest, and persistence) associated with positive youth development.

Method: The sample included 995 Japanese elementary school students (Grades 4-6) attending one of four schools in and nearby Tokyo. A confirmatory factor analysis tested the fit of the hypothesized SEHS-P factor structure.

Results: The model adequately fit the data. As hypothesized, items showed good factor loadings on the corresponding four factors. All parameter estimates were statistically significant (p < .01). Criterion validation examined associations between the SEHS-P and measures of psychological distress and satisfaction with classroom life. Validation coefficients were moderate to large size (.37 to .57). Reliability was good for each subscale (Alpha and Omega coefficients = .83 to .97).

Conclusion: This preliminary validation of the Japanese version of SEHS-P provides a step towards introducing a much-needed, whole-school universal screening approach to support positive education in Japanese schools.

日本小学生社会情绪健康调查的验证

摘要

目标:本研究调查了社会情绪健康调查 - 初级(SEHS-P;Furlong 等人,2013 年)的有效性,该调查评估了与积极的青年发展相关的四种健康倾向(感恩、乐观、热情和坚持)。

方法:样本包括在东京及其附近的四所学校之一就读的 995 名日本小学生(4-6 年级)。验证性因子分析测试了假设的 SEHS-P 因子结构的拟合。

结果:模型充分拟合了数据。正如假设的那样,项目在相应的四个因素上显示出良好的因素负荷。所有参数估计值均具有统计学意义(p < .01)。标准验证检查了 SEHS-P 与心理困扰和课堂生活满意度之间的关联。验证系数大小适中(0.37 至 0.57)。每个分量表的可靠性都很好(Alpha 和 Omega 系数 = .83 到 0.97)。

结论:对日本版 SEHS-P 的初步验证为引入急需的全校普遍筛查方法以支持日本学校的积极教育迈出了一步。
