Description
The work aims to determine the difference in opinions and viewpoints of elementary school students about a multicultural environment and youth violence, taking into account gender, grade level, and school success. The sample consisted of eighth and ninth-grade elementary school students (N=215) from Serbia. The results of the research show that the students' opinions on characteristics, educational outcomes, and youth violence do not statistically differ significantly when the independent variables are taken into account. The students' attitudes towards the values of living together in a multicultural environment and the school's influence on the prevention of violence caused by differences in different cultures do not differ significantly when the independent variables are taken into account.
