Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is based on my previous study 'Jidou-seito no Han-syakaiteki Koudou ni Oyobosu Hi-syakaisei Youin no Eikyou nituite' (Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research 2009-2011).
The three findings from the present longitudinal survey from 5th grader to 9th grader are as below; 1) The low possibility that Jiko-Yuyou-Kan (social self efficusy) affects directly to reduce assailants of Ijime and Bouryoku (bullying and violence), 2) the high possibility that Jiko-Yuyou-Kan can affect to reduce victims of Ijime and Bouryoku, however, 3) the mechanism that Jiko-Yuyou-Kan affects not directly to reduce victims in real time but indirectly to reduce troubles among students and stop the escalation from such troubles to serious Ijime and Bouryoku in next term. Namely, it affects to change the climate of classroom and schools at first and reduce victims of Ijime and Bouryoku as a result.
