abstract="School social climate from a multidimensional perspective is a focus of great interest in international research and educational and well-being public policies  due to the high prevalence of interpersonal violence in adolescents, currently  considered a global public health problem. The object of the present study was to  assess the psychometric measurement capacity of a set of items to evaluate school  social climate in the Student Context Questionnaire of the Chilean Education Quality  Measurement System. The sample analyzed consisted of second-year high school  students who replied to a Student Context Questionnaire in 2015 (n~158,572). Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were carried out in a measurement  model to identify the presence of constructs and items of high homogeneity. The  results showed an acceptable to a good fit in the final model, which consisted of 15  latent constructs, and also showed invariance for school administrative dependencies  and invariance for sex. All the above implies a contribution to the public organisms  that create standardized tests along with the investigation in compulsory secondary  education measurement to prevent future violent behaviors, contribute to reducing  interpersonal violence, and improve the well-being of the educational community.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
