Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
The How I Feel About Myself and School Questionnaire is a measure of youth wellbeing in the school context. 30‐item self‐report measure of emotion for 8‐ to 12‐year‐old children—the How I Feel (HIF). Item generation and selection occurred via 2 pilot administrations (ns = 250 and 378, respectively). The HIF can be useful in understanding the interplay between arousal and control in social‐emotional adjustment in school‐age children. Three scales are included: Positive Emotions (e.g., “I feel happy very often”); Negative Emotion (e.g., “When I felt sad, my sad feelings are very strong”); Emotion Control (e.g., : “I was in control of how often I felt mad”) Subscore(s): There are four subscores: Interpersonal, Life-satisfaction, Competence, Negative emotion
