2020, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Social climate is thus a unique social atmosphere of an educational setting which gives this setting unity and coherence, despite the varying life experiences of its participants. Climate is complex, structurally diversified and comprised of the following dimensions (Moos 1974/1987, 1975, 1979, 1987, 1994/2003; Menard & LeBlanc, 1978; Salter, Junco, & Irvin, 2004): The Relationships Dimension involves experiencing emotions engendered in interactions with the immediate environment and engagement associated with expectations of communality and participation; it helps assess juveniles’ and educators’ commitment to daily duties, expressiveness, and support.
Bullying among immigrant and non-immigrant early adolescents: School- and student-level effects
2017, Journal of AdolescenceCitation Excerpt :‘Person-context fit’ theoretical models provide a meaningful framework for examining the interaction between a student's own background, the concentration of other immigrant students in a school and the incidence of bullying. According to Moos (1987), ‘person-environment fit’ is achieved through the interaction between individual (e.g., socio-demographic) and contextual (e.g., family, school) factors. Applying this framework suggests that peer relationships can be influenced in part by the ‘goodness of fit’ between a student's characteristics and those of the student body.
