A Scale for Teacher Attitudes toward School Bullying
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop “Scale for Teacher Attitudes Toward School Bullying” (STATSB) to evaluate teachers’ attitudes for school bullying among high school students. The STATSB consists of 25 items in a five-point Likert scale. The scale items were developed based on the cognitive, affective and behavioral components of attitude toward bullying. The number of negative and positive items of the scale were constructed according to these three components. The total score ranges from 25 to 125. The higher scores indicate the desired teacher attitudes about school bullying. During the developmentation process, various steps was followed. In this respect, 30 teachers’ feedback were gathered by open-ended questions, besides examining related literature on the scales and inventories. Then, in the second step, 52-item form of the scale was evaluated by the 20 experts in the field of counseling and 42-item trial form was administered to a sample of 211 participants selected from various high schools. Results of the analyses yielded four- factor structure for the scale. Cronbach alpha relibility coefficient obtained from the total scale was found to be 0.78. Therefore, the psychometric properties of the scale were found satisfactory and can be used to mesure for teachers’ attitudes toward school bullying.
