Abstract
Documents the development of a whanaungatanga scale alongside a measure of Māori identity. Analyses the responses of rangatahi Māori who completed the Youth19 Rangatahi Smart Survey administered in secondary schools in 2019. Discusses the deliberative parts of the scale development, then describes the factor analytic techniques employed, which identified a reliable three-factor structure for whanaungatanga, independent of the cultural identity questions in Youth19. Demonstrates that the three subscales for whanaungatanga - with whānau, friends, and other adults, respectively - predict well-being for rangatahi Māori and can be used as a basis for further work.
