Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 07342829241279483. https://doi.org/10.1177/07342829241279483https://investigadores.udd.cl/handle/123456789/1031710.1177/073428292412794832-s2.0-85203076004WOS:001303524600001<jats:p> This study assesses the psychometric properties of the School Support Scale (SSS), part of the CHKS’s Resilience Youth Development Module (RYDM; Furlong et al., 2009 ), among 231 sixth- and seventh-grade students in urban public schools in Chile. Results indicated satisfactory psychometric properties, replicating a unifactorial structure observed in prior research ( Hanson &amp; Kim, 2007 ), where items related to caring relationships and high expectations loaded onto a single factor, school support. Significant correlations were found with measures of life satisfaction and school-related affect. These findings underscore the scale’s utility in evaluating student perceptions of school support and highlight avenues for future research to enhance its applicability across diverse educational contexts. </jats:p>journal-article
