Psychometric properties of Illinois bullying scale for youths in restrictive school settings

• In Event: Electronic Board Session III

Abstract

The present study investigated the psychometric properties of the Illinois bullying/victimization scale within restrictive school settings. Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) was used and was found to provide better model-data fit than confirmatory factor analysis. Some modifications to the scale were suggested based on ESEM analysis.
