The data of the study were collected with the Introductory Characteristics Form and the Bullying and Cyberbullying Scale for Adolescents (CIS-A). In the evaluation of the data, descriptive Statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, minimum, maximum), Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance were used.
Results: It has been determined that the rates of being exposed to physical, verbal, relational and cyberbullying and bullying of adolescents vary between 5-17%. In adolescents, boys (physical: p≤0.001, relational: p=0.003), 7-9. Those who study in the classroom (physical: p≤0.001, verbal: p≤0.001, relational: p=0.041, cyber: p=0.008), those who do not feel safe at school (p≤0.001), those whose parents punish (p≤0.001) and those who have low academic achievement Those with (physical: p=0.003, verbal: p=0.004, relational: p=0.018) were exposed to more bullying and boys (physical: p≤0.001, verbal: p=0.005, relational: p=0.006, cyber: p≤0.001), 7-9. those who study in the classroom (physical: p=0.005, verbal: p=0.004, cyber: p=0.021), those whose parents punish (physical: p=0.009, verbal: p≤0.001) and those with low academic achievement (physical: p=0.010, relational: p=0.008, cyber: p≤0.001).

ERGENLERDE ZORBALIK VE SİBER ZORBALIĞI ETKİLEYEN FAKTÖRLER

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, ergenlerde zorbalık ve siber zorbalığı etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak
gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Çalışma, ilköğretim ve ortaöğretim 7-12. sınıflarda öğrenim gören 12-17 yaş arası 544 ergen ile yapılmıştır.
Çalışmanın verileri, Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu ve Ergenler İçin Zorbalık ve Siber Zorbalık Ölçeği (ZSÖ-E) ile toplanmıştır.
Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistikler (ortalama, standart sapma, frekans, yüzde, minimum, maximum),
Mann-Whitney U testi ve Kruskal-Wallis Varyans Analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Ergenlerin fiziksel, sözel, ilişkisel ve siber zorbalığa maruz kalma ve zorbalık uygulama oranlarının %5-17
arasında değiştiği belirlenmiştir. Ergenlerde, erkeklerin (fiziksel: p≤0.001, ilişkisel: p=0.003), 7-9. sınıfta okuyanların
(fiziksel: p≤0.001, sözel: p≤0.001, ilişkisel: p=0.041, siber: p=0.008), kendini okulda güvende hissetmeyenlerin (p≤0.001),
ebeveynleri ceza verenlerin (p≤0.001) ve akademik başarısı düşük olanların (fiziksel: p=0.003, sözel: p=0.004, ilişkisel:
p=0.018) daha fazla zorbalığa maruz kaldığı ve erkeklerin (fiziksel: p≤0.001, sözel: p=0.005, ilişkisel: p=0.006, siber:
p≤0.001), 7-9. sınıfta okuyanların (fiziksel: p=0.005, sözel: p=0.004, siber: p=0.021), ebeveynleri ceza verenlerin (fiziksel:
p=0.009, sözel: p≤0.001) ve akademik başarısı düşük olanların (fiziksel: p=0.010, ilişkisel: p=0.008, siber: p≤0.001) daha
fazla zorbalık uyguladıkları saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Ergenlerin fiziksel, sözel, ilişkisel ve siber zorbalığa maruz kalma ve zorbalık uygulama oranlarının %5.0’dan yüksek
olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan ergenlerde, erkeklerin, 7-9. sınıfta okuyanların, ebeveynleri ceza verenlerin ve
akademik başarısı düşük olanların daha fazla zorbalığa maruz kaldığı ve zorbalık uyguladıkları saptanmıştır.
