Abstract
Although research on school transitions is growing, researchers continue to lack adequate models and tools for conceptualizing and assessing school transition stress. The present study uses the theoretical framework and research on occupational role strain in adulthood as such a model and suggests that early adolescents experience role strain in the exercise of their roles as students. This role-strain framework was used to create the Early Adolescent School Role Strain Inventory (EASRSI) to assess school-related strains emanating from three settings: school, home, and peer group. This study identifies strains that early adolescents may experience as students and discusses the development of the inventory. Psychometric data presented suggest that the EASRSI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing this strain. Finally, it is suggested that the EASRSI has value for researchers who wish to investigate school-related stress and for school personnel who wish to design developmentally appropriate school environments.
