Outline of Final Research Achievements

The comparative survey on Indirect Aggression in 2004-2006 shows Japanese children experience the bullying without physical violence highest among countries. This study clarifies whether such tendency is peculiar to Japan or common to the less violent society using the comparative survey between Sweden and Japan.
The available data at the present time show Sweden has less experience of the bullying with physical violence and more experience of the bullying without physical violence like Japan. However, Sweden has more experience of the bullying with light physical violence and the bullying by damaging property unlike Japan.
