Developing Norms for the California Resilience Youth Development Module: Internal Assets and school Resources subscales (2009, methodology): “In a detailed analysis, Hanson and Kim (2007) found that the number of items could be reduced due to differential item functioning (across racial-ethnic groups or by gender), inconsistent factor loading patterns, or items cross-loading across factors.”
A Multilevel Examination of Racial Disparities in High School Discipline: Black and White Adolescents’ Perceived Equity, School Belonging, and Adjustment Problems (2017, unknown): “The items were adapted from the California Healthy Kids Survey (Hanson & Kim, 2007; also see Resnick et al., 1997) and response options were on a 4-point Likert scale from disagree strongly (1) to agree strongly (4), with higher scores indicating higher levels of belonging.”
Self-Esteem and Future Orientation Predict Adolescents’ Risk Engagement (2017, background): “Data from a large, multiethnic sample of youth in elementary and middle school found a three-item version of the scale to be correlated with risk taking (inversely) as well as school achievement (Hanson & Kim, 2007).”
