Table 4: The relationship between the intergenerational learning and physical aggressiveness
Chi-square: 11,4140, df=3, p=0,009688
Since the value of the probability p is smaller (p = 0,009688)
than the chosen level of importance
, we reject the
hypothesis
at the level of importance
and
we accept the alternative hypothesis
. It is evident that the
intergenerational learning in the family has a statistically
important influence on the physical expressions of
aggressiveness by the children. The results of the test proved that
the tendencies towards the physical expressions of
aggressiveness by children are statistically significantly
dependent on the intergenerational learning in the family.
Based on the table no.4 where we recorded the given situation,
we can state that up to 70% of respondents never experienced
any physical expressions of aggressiveness what was influenced
exactly by the participation in the intergenerational exchange
with their grandparents.
In the following table there we recorded the frequency, the
percentage composition, the result of the chÃ-squared test, the
value p. Based on them we can subsequently confirm or reject
the formulated hypothesis.
Table 5: The relationship between the intergenerational learning and the auto-aggressiveness
Chi-square: 2,49664, df=3, p=0,475902
Since the value of the probability p is bigger (p = 0,475902)
than the chosen level of importance
, we can say
that the intergenerational learning in the family does not have a
statistically significant influence on the auto-aggressiveness of
children. It was proved with the test that the intergenerational
learning in the family between the grandparents and
grandchildren, respectively any common activity they do
together, is statistically not related in a significant way to the fact
whether there appear tendencies towards the auto-aggressiveness
by the children.
Table 6: The relationship between the intergenerational learning and bullying
Chi-square: 17,3397, df=3, p=0,000602
On the basis of the results we can see that the value of the
probability p is smaller (p = 0,000602) than the chosen level of
importance
and therefore we reject the hypothesis
at the level of importance
and we accept
the alternative hypothesis
. We subsequently conclude that
the intergenerational learning in the family has a statistically
significant influence on the occurrence of bullying by the
children. It was proved with the test that the intergenerational
learning in the family is statistically related to the expressions of
bullying by the children in a significant way. Almost 80% of
pupils who have the possibility to participate in the
intergenerational education, never experienced bullying as a
form of their aggressive behaviour.
The hypothesis, which was the basis of our assumption that there
exists a statistically significant relationship between the
intergenerational learning in the family and the occurrence of
aggressive behaviour in the observed sample, was confirmed in
the relationship to the expressions of verbal aggressiveness,
physical aggressiveness and in the relationship to the bullying by
the respondents.
It is exactly the only one type of the aggressive behaviour where
the formulated hypothesis was not confirmed. We can find the
reason in the fact that it is a different type of aggressiveness
when compared to the other three types because the aim of
hurting is the proper aggressor himself/herself. The actor of
aggressive acts is identical with the victim. Finally we verified
with the
- test of independence for the contingent table
whether the intergenerational learning in the family has an
influence on the expressions of bullying by the children.
