Mizojini ve Siber Şiddet: Uygulama, Mağduriyet ve Meşrulaştırma

Öz

Bu çalışmada kadına yönelik düşmanlık olarak tanımlanan mizojininin ve ek olarak çelişik cinsiyetçiliğin siber şiddet uygulama, siber mağduriyet ve siber şiddeti meşrulaştırma üzerindeki olası etkisinin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Ek olarak çeşitli Erkek Evreni gruplarına ait olmanın siber şiddete etkisi de ele alınmıştır. Analizler 365 kişinin verisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örneklemin (ort=31,30±9,65) %59,2’sini kadınlar, %40,8’ini ise erkekler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada hem siber şiddeti hem de siber şiddet mağduriyetini ölçmeyi hedefleyen Yenilenmiş Siber Zorbalık Envanteri II ile Siber Şiddeti Meşrulaştırma Ölçeği, Mizojini Ölçeği, Çelişik Duygulu Cinsiyetçilik Ölçeği ve sosyodemografik bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Yapılan regresyon analizleri sonucunda mizojininin çeşitli değişkenlerle birlikte, siber şiddeti uygulama, siber şiddet mağduriyeti ve siber şiddeti meşrulaştırmayı anlamlı olarak yordadığı görülmektedir. Ek olarak, Erkek Evreni gruplarına dahil olmanın, siber şiddet davranışları üzerinde etkili olabileceği görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgular ulusal ve uluslararası alanyazın çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiş ve tartışılmıştır.

Misogyny And Cyberbullying: Practice, Victimization, And Legitimization

Öz

This study aimed to examine the potential impact of misogyny, defined as hostility towards women, and ambivalent sexism on cyber violence perpetration, cyber victimization, and cyber violence legitimization. Additionally, the impact of belonging to various male population groups on cyber violence was also examined. Analyses were conducted with data from 365 individuals. The sample (mean=31.30±9.65) consisted of 59.2% women and 40.8% men. The study utilized Revised Cyber Bullying Inventory II, which aims to measure both cyber violence and cyber violence victimization, Justification of Cyber-Harassment Scale, Misogyny Scale, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, and sociodemographic information form. Regression analyses revealed that misogyny, along with various variables, significantly predicted the perpetration of cyberviolence, cyberviolence victimization, and legitimization of cyberviolence. Furthermore, it was observed that belonging to the Male Universe groups may have an impact on cyber-violent behavior. The findings were evaluated and discussed within the framework of national and international literature.
