Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Survey methodologists are faced with the task of developing questions that will generate accurate responses about the concepts in question. Often, however, it is not clear as to who is best equipped to answer the survey item. School-based surveys face similar obstacles. What respondents are in the best situation to provide reliable information on a particular topic? School administrators, teachers, and the student body each have a unique perspective on behaviors that occur at school as well as the general school environment. Further, depending on the purpose and use of the information collected, all responses may have some level of validity. In addition to having a different perspective on a particular item, these respondents may differ in their reporting motivations. School administrators and teachers may be less critical in their assessment of negative school climate compared with student respondents. Using the NELS:88 data file, comparisons are made between reported measures of student, teacher and principal descriptions of school climate related to school safety and discipline. Items are examined for internal and external consistency. Disaggregating these responses by school and individual characteristics reveal where these response discrepancies are most prevalent and where the disparities are the greatest.
