Analysis of the Factors Affecting Children’s Discrimination Based on Academic Performance: Focused on Elementary School Boys in Community Child Center

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect children’s discrimination based on academic performance. The subjects of this study were 325 elementary school boys who responded to the third survey of the second child panel survey at the community child center. The independent variables are family economic level, family type, aggression, depression, stress, existence of sibling, existence of friends, community social capital, neglectful parenting attitude, abuse parenting attitude, human rights consciousness, human rights information, and experience of discrimination. SPSS PASW Statistics 25.0 was used to analyze the exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study showed that human rights consciousness, family economy level, experience of discrimination damage, and aggression had a significant effect on children’s discrimination based on academic performance. The results of this study emphasize that children should try to strengthen their human rights consciousness to respect and sympathize with others in order to reduce their behavior by discriminating against academic performance. And it is suggested that negative emotional management such as wound healing and aggression due to discrimination damage is also necessary.
