Abstrakt: We examined perceptions on school sense of community and social justice attitudes among undergraduates (N = 427; 308 women, 115 men;Mage = 19.72,SD = 1.91), and how year in school and club membership affected these constructs. Results demonstrated that involvement with a greater number of clubs was associated with having a stronger school sense of community and more positive social justice attitudes. Multiple regression analyses demonstrated that year in school did not significantly predict social justice attitudes. Results suggested that greater involvement and sense of school belonging might be linked to social justice attitudes. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
