<論文>移民的背景といじめ --TIMSSを用いた実証的分析--

Abstract

This article examines the bullying victimization which students with an immigrant background have sometimes experienced in Japan contributing to serious incidents like suicide and often becoming a key reason why some students do not wish to go to school. Using TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study), this article examines how the incidence of victimization varies between Japanese students and students with an immigrant background, and analyzes the relationship between linguistic differences, cultural differences and the frequency of victimization. The result shows that students with an immigrant background have experienced bullying victimization more frequently than Japanese students. Of course, linguistic and cultural differences can explain some of this difference but, even after controlling for these differences and other individual factors, immigrant background can still be identified as a clear risk factor for victimization.
