Relating psychological sense of community to social climate characteristics

The relationship between psychological sense of community and social climate factors was investigated within the context of a university residence community using the Sense of Community Index (SCI) and the University Residence Environment Scale (URES). Multiple regression results indicated that 54% of the variance of SCI scores was attributable to a combination of the involvement, academic achievement, and support characteristics of the residence's social climate. This suggests that perceived psychological sense of community is associated with perceptions of environmental performance demands as well as with interpersonal networks and support.
