Abstract
School climate, defined here as the type of mobility system reflected in the school's selection procedures, was shown to interact with ethnic group membership and locus of control (after SES factors were controlled) in affecting student achievement in Israeli schools. Although achievement tended to be highest for all in a competitive and non‐selective environment, the achievement of the socially higher status group was found to be more sensitive to changes in the school atmosphere than that of the lower status group. Students revealing a strong internal locus of control appeared to be less affected by changes in the environment than others. ∗This paper was presented at the AERA Annual Meeting which was held in San Francisco, April 19‐23, 1976.
