School belonging has numerous consequences for students' psychological health and adjustment.[1][2][3] Research has shown that when students feel a greater sense of school belonging, their mental health and well-being is improved:[27] they exhibit greater levels of emotional stability,[2] lower levels of depression,[5][6] reduced stress,[7] and an increase in positive emotions, such as happiness and pride.[28][29] Feelings of school belonging have also been shown to predict self-esteem,[10][30] self-concept,[8][18] and self-worth.[20] Students who possess school belonging experience more positive life transitions as well, which can have important implications for psychological health and adjustment.[18]
