Abstract
The Basle Kindergarten Study is looking at the effects of migration on health and development. Local, social and cultural relationships are broken up through migration. We call this break of relationship "up-rooting". Deviant behaviour can be understood as indicator of disturbed psychosocial development. Two hypotheses are examined: 1. Signs of up-rooting are concentrated in migrant-families. 2. The children in these families show more deviant behaviour. Both hypotheses are not supported by our preliminary data.
