4 Belongingness description

This is the General Belongingness Scale (Malone, Pillow, and Osman 2012). It is a 12-item measure on a Likert scale from 0 = “Strongly Disagree” to 4 = “Strongly Agree”.

Qualtrics scores the measure internally, so you will just merge the score variable into your own data set. Scores range from 0-48.
