Survey-Description
The Students Survey of Risk Factors (SSRFPA-126) is a psychometric tool designed to assess the risk factors that students face in their daily lives. The questionnaire consists of 126 items that cover a wide range of potential risk factors that may affect the mental, emotional, and physical health of students.
The factors examined in the SSRFPA-126 include:
Family factors: e.g., family status, conflicts with family members, parental support.
Social factors: e.g., peer influence, relationships with friends, social isolation or integration.
Academic factors: e.g., exam stress, pressure to succeed, quality of the educational experience.
Personal factors: e.g., self-esteem, psychological resilience, perceptions of health and lifestyle habits.
Data Analysis and Usage
The data collected from the SSRFPA-126 is used to understand the risk factors that students face and to identify areas where intervention or support is needed. Analytical techniques used include:
Factor analysis to identify the main categories of risk factors faced by students.
Reliability analysis, such as measuring Cronbach’s alpha, to ensure the scale’s stability and consistency.
Correlation analysis to examine the relationship between risk factors and other parameters, such as academic performance, mental health, or social adaptation.
Data from the SSRFPA-126 can be used by educators, psychologists, and researchers to identify students’ needs and design targeted interventions.
Purpose
The primary goal of the SSRFPA-126 is to identify and assess the various risk factors that may affect students in both school and out-of-school settings. This tool helps to:
Identify students at risk of psychosocial difficulties or academic challenges.
Provide information for creating support and intervention programs.
Contribute to understanding how different risk factors impact students’ academic and social adaptation.
Calibration
The calibration of the SSRFPA-126 includes:
Reliability analysis to ensure that the items of the scale consistently measure the risk factors.
Confirmatory factor analysis to validate the structure of the scale.
Cross-validation in various student populations to ensure the tool’s generalizability and applicability.
