Hemingway Scale of Adolescent Connectedness
مقیاس ارتباط نوجوانان
مقیاس همینگوی
DESCRIPTION
This survey‚ available in both 78- and 57-item versions‚ is designed to measure youth “connectedness” to five core domains: family‚ friends‚ school‚ peers‚ and self in the future. This concept of “connectedness” is based not on youth perceptions of how well they are connected to others (“My teacher likes me”) but rather on their outward expression of positive feelings and the seeking of support from people and places (“I often turn to my teacher for support”). This way of looking at connectedness emphasizes the reciprocal nature of human connections‚ making the Hemingway a very useful tool for any program wanting to know if their mentors are helping youth become more engaged with their world.
There are 15 subscales that focus on everything from connectedness to reading to connectedness to neighborhood.
