The Effect of Communication Skills and Interpersonal Problem Solving Skills on Social Self-Efficacy.

School factors associated with school refusal- and truancy-related reasons for school non-attendance (2015, background): “Previous research indicates that students’ perception of teacher support becomes increasingly negative from primary to secondary school (Bru et al. 2010; Furman and Buhrmester 1992; Malecki and Demaray 2002; Bokhorst et al. 2009).”

Treating Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability Coefficients as Data in Counseling Research (2006, background): “In the counseling literature, measures of perceptions of racist events (e.g., Landrine & Klonoff, 1996), social support (e.g., Malecki & Demaray, 2002), and stressful life events (e.g., Holmes & Rahe, 1967) are examples that are probably indexes rather than scales.”
Victims and their defenders: A dyadic approach (2011, background): “For example, the study by Davidson and Demaray (2007) assessed support by classmates and close friends with questions such as ‘‘my classmates treat me with respect’’ or ‘‘my classmates do nice things for me’’ (see also Malecki & Demaray, 2002).”
