Examination of High School Students’ Cyberbullying and Victimization Cases in Terms of Different Variables
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine cases of high school students’ involvement in
cyberbullying and cyber victimization in terms of the students’ grade level, frequency of internet
use, purpose of internet use and sources of internet access. 266 high school students, who
were selected from high schools in Ankara, constituted the working group of the study. The
data was collected via the Cyber Bully/Victim Survey developed by Ayas and Horzum (2010).
Frequencies, percentage, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Scheffe test were used
to analyze data. A significant difference was found between students’ cyberbullying and cyber
victimization cases and their grade levels. However, no significant difference was found
between students’ bullying and victimization cases and frequency of internet use, purpose of
internet use and sources of internet access.
