한국 대학생들의 학교애착척도 개발 및 타당화 = Development and Validation of a Questionnaire of Korean College Students` Institutional Attachment

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is intended to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess Korean college students` institutional attachment. To accomplish this objective, 30 items were developed based on literature reviews. Five hundred and ten college students at K University were sampled for the pretest and the developed questionnaires were administered to the subjects. About 486 effective questionnaires were collected and the data were analyzed in SPSS 12.0 for exploratory factor analyses and in LISREL 8.8 for confirmatory factor analyses. The result of the exploratory factor analyses revealed three latent factors among the 30 items: Retention, Involvement, and Socialization. Three latent factors accounted for 41.28% of variance in 30 items. The result of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the three latent factors are stable and appropriate to explain the sample covariance matrix structure. The three latent factors significantly predict students` GPA and about 12.7% of variance in the college students` GPA was accounted for by the three factors. The three latent factors were still significant predictors of college students` academic achievement over and above IQ and SAT score.
