Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In previous school-level analyses of the data from the National Study of Delinquency Prevention in Schools (Gottfredson, Gottfredson, Payne, and Gottfredson, 2002), we demonstrated that school climate factors explain a substantial percentage of the variance in measures of school disorder, controlling for the effects of community characteristics and school student composition. Specifically, schools in which students (on average) perceive greater fairness and clarity of rules have less delinquent behavior and less student victimization. Schools with more positive psycho-social climates have less teacher victimization, but these climate factors do not influence student reports of victimization or delinquent behavior. This paper extends this earlier work by applying multi-level modeling to the same data to test the extent to which the previously-observed school climate effects on problem behavior are mediated through individual-level measures of social bonding. Cross-level interactions will also be explored to test whether the influence of bonding on problem behavior varies as a function of school climate.
