徳島県における人口密度及び学校の規模といじめ・不登校の発生率との関連

The purpose of the present study is to examine the actual condition of student's bullying and school refusals in the elementary and junior high schools in Tokushima Prefecture and to reveal whether these behaviors are correlated to the students' living environments，such as the population density of their living area.
To reveal the actual condition of their bullying and school refusals， we used the data gathered by the School Board of Tokushima Prefecture in 1995， which covered all the elementary and junior high schools in the prefecture.
In addition，we prepared a Questionnaire and carried it out at 10 junior high schools to gather data for examining the relations between the students' stress and their bullying.
Although the results we obtained in the analyses will be presented later, this present study will provide the following findings:(1)the occurrence rate of bullying was found to have little correlation with the population density or with the school and class size, and(2)the occurence rate of the school refusal was revealed to significantly correlate with the population density.
In conclusion, the results we obtained in the present study will be discussed by referring to the findings in some current studies on bullying and school refusals.
