Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı; üniversite öğrencileri arasında siber zorbalık ve mağduriyet yaygınlığını ortaya çıkarmak; çocukluk çağı travmatik deneyimlerinin, bağlanma tarzlarının ve siber zorbalık ve mağduriyet düzeylerinin bazı değişkenler açısından farklılık gösterip göstermediğini belirlemek ve çocukluk travması deneyimlerinin ve bağlanma stillerinin siber zorbalık ve mağduriyet üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-II (YİYE-II), Çocukluk Örselenme Yaşantıları Ölçeği (ÇÖYÖ) ve Siber Mağduriyet ve Zorbalık Ölçeği (SMZÖ) kullanılmıştır. Üniversite öğrencilerinin siber mağdur alt ölçeğindeki puanları ile siber zorba alt ölçeği arasında yüksek düzeyde, pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r=.656; p=.000). Siber mağdur alt ölçeğinin puanları ile kaçıngan bağlanma ve kaygılı bağlanma alt ölçeği arasında düşük düzeyde, pozitif yönde anlamlı bir korelasyon vardı (r = .129; p = .004; r = .193; p = .000). Öğrencilerin kaçıngan ve kaygılı bağlanma seviyeleri arttıkça, siber mağduriyet seviyeleri de artmaktadır. Ayrıca, siber mağdur alt ölçeğindeki öğrencilerin puanları ile çocukluk çağı travması puanları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r = .286; p = .000). Bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar, kaçıngan, kaygılı bağlanma stilleri ve çocukluk çağı travmatik yaşantılarının siber zorbalık ve siber mağduriyet açısından yordayıcı faktörler olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda ailelerin çocukları ile sağlıklı bir iletişim kurmaları siber zorbalık ve mağduriyetin önlenmesi açısından önemlidir.

Abstract

The purpose of this research; to reveal the prevalence of cyberbullying and victimization among university students; to determine whether childhood traumatic experiences, attachment styles and cyber bullying and victimization levels differ in terms of some variables and to reveal the effects of childhood trauma experiences and attachment styles on cyberbullying and victimization. Personal Information Form, Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory-II (EII-II), Childhood Trauma Experience Scale (CTES) and Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale (CVBS) were used as data collection tools in the study. A high level, positive significant relationship was found between the scores of the university students in the Cyber Victim subscale and the Cyber Bully subscale (r=.656; p=.000). There was a low level, positive significant correlation between the scores of the Cyber Victim subscale and the Avoidant Attachment and Anxious Attachment subscale (r = .129; p = .004; r = .193; p = .000). As students' avoidant and anxious attachment levels increase, their cyber victimization levels increase. In addition, a positive significant relationship was found between the scores of the students in the Cyber Victim subscale and Childhood Trauma scores (r = .286; p = .000). The results obtained in this study show that avoidant, anxious attachment styles and childhood traumatic experiences are predictive factors in terms of cyberbullying and cyber victimization. In this context, it is important for families to establish a healthy communication with their children in terms of preventing cyberbullying and victimization.
