For data collection of group membership results in schools and group membership results of a small group outside of the schools, SGP – scaler of group membership method is used. Group membership is estimated to 40 even and odd items, and Likerts scale from 1 – none of value for me to 5 – totally is valueable from me is used. All odd items are giving results of group membership to a class at the school, and even items are giving results of group membership to a small group outside of the school.
