MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH STUDENT’S EXPERIENCES OF BEING BADLY TREATED, HARASSED AND DISCRIMINATED - A SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF THE MALMÖ UNIVERSITY STUDENT HEALTH SURVEY

International and national reports and research have shown that between 12-75 % of the students at universities have experiences of being badly treated/humiliated, harassed or discriminated by staff or fellow students, at least once during their university studies. A newly published report by Malmö university is of importance because this report includes a broader range of variables that have a connection with experiences of being badly treated, harassed or discriminated. Nevertheless, the report is limited because the results are based on bivariate regression analysis on binary variables and thus, does not control for other correlated variables. The aim of the current thesis is to improve the results by using multivariate logistic regression. The results indicate that using multivariate logistic regression narrows down the number of significant variables, which corresponds with the complexity of interaction in everyday life, providing a more realistic perception of the interaction of the dependent variables.
