Student Behavior and Climate. CAPS Current Resources Series.

This publication is intended to alert the user to a body of research which examines the nature of emotional climates and environments, and the relationship of various environments to student achievements, attitudes, and behaviors. It provides information about the nature of school environments as they are affected by a variety of factors such as staff characteristics and behaviors, student peer-group characteristics and values, and norms of the community which support the school. This index is part of the Current Resources Series (CRS), developed by the Counseling and Personnel Services Information Center (CAPS), and planned to assist personnel workers in the identification and retrieval of information in areas where there is both expanding knowledge and personnel worker need for information. This index identifies research reports which have been recently reported either in the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system, the CAPS center collection, or in Dissertation Abstracts.
