| Summary |
There has been a lot of interest in junior high school students’ psychological problems. In the past, certain students were known for their deviant behavior. Recently, however, there has been an increase in the number of seemingly normal and inconspicuous students who have been acting out. It is the circumstances of average students rather than those who seem problematic that are changing. This monograph attempts to clarify the reality of such changes in junior high school students. The past surveys shared the common ground of identifying blockages in the lives of "ordinary students." This survey attempted to clarify the actual situation of such blockages. |
