Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the Satisfaction with School Life
Scale and the School Morale of University Students. The Satisfaction with School Life Scale ( Kawamura, 2010 ),
The School Morale Scale ( Kawamura, 2010 ), and The Passivity Area Scale( Shimoyama,1995 ) were completed
by 117 sophomore students ( 36 male, 81 female ) enrolled in a teacher-training course at one university.
Students were classified into 4 groups depending on the satisfaction scale of the school life: “Satisfied with School
Life”, “Unapproved as a Classmate”, “Recognizing Infringing Behavior”, and “Unsatisfied with School Life.”
The results were as follows: ANOVA showed that Group “Satisfied with School Life” got the highest scores of
School Morale and the lowest scores of Passivity Area scale, whereas Group “Unsatisfied with School Life” got
the lowest scores of the School Morale and the highest scores of the Passivity Area Scale. In other words, the
scale of the School Morale of the students’ life is closely related with their Passive Area, and we think it is necessary
to research the screening system about the student characteristics of the university. Furthermore, this study
pointed out that the reinforcement of psychological and educational supporting services should be helpful to both
“the learning phase” and “the aspect of human relations”.
