In this paper we compare the findings of this new instrument with those of the General Social Survey, a tried and tested questionnaire... Specifically, we compare these two victimization questionnaires with respect to lifetime victimization and annual victimization for youth between 15 to 17 years of age. The results indicate that, although there are differences between both questionnaires[, they] find similar rates of annual victimization, but differences regarding lifetime victimization. 1, record 2, English, - annual%20victimization

The decision to establish an International Institute of Child Study(IICS) was taken by the UNESCO General Conference in 1952. The operative decision reads :’In 1953... it is planned to select and train the essential personnel for the establishment in 1954 in Asia of a research and training centre in educational psychology for experienced teachers and an associated field project of educational guidance. The object of this unit and its associated field project is to combine the advanced training of teachers with fundamental and applied research, and to do both in the light of a continuing study of a given culture. It is hoped that the unit will produce a small but steady flow of highly trained educators each year, who will be able practically to apply the findings of psychological research to the educational needs of their own countries. ’ 1, record 6, English, - International%20Institute%20of%20Child%20Study
