This study examines the social anxiety of migrated and nonmigrated children in terms of gender, socio-economic level and prevalence of child labour. The study group included 727 migrated and nomigrated secondary school students in Mersin. Data were collected with the Social Anxiety Scale for Children and the Personal Information Sheet. As a result, it is found that social anxiety differs depending on migration, gender, working situation and their reasons for migration. Child labour and low socio-economic level are more prevalent in the immigrant group. In this contex, it can be asserted that immigration constitutes to be a risk factor for experiencing social anxiety problems. Considering that migration is a continuing phenomenon, it would be necessary for some institutions such as the Ministry of Family and Social Policies, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, to carry out preventive studies collaboratively to ensure the children from migrant families are less affected by social anxiety and similar psychological difficulties.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction}, author={Kıran, Binnaz and Bozkur, Binaz and Kaya, Alim}, year={2018}, month={May}, pages={623–644} }
