Bullying Victimization of Faculty of Theology Students Regarding Their Religious Thought and Lifestyles: A Mixed Method Study (The Case of Selçuk University Faculty of Theology)

Öz

Bullying can be defined as the intentional targeting of an individual or group by another individual or group, usually based on a power imbalance, causing physical, emotional or psychological harm in a continuous and repeated manner. Bullying can occur not only among individuals, but sometimes in groups or institutions, and is reproduced through dynamics shaped by social structures, cultural norms and power relations. In this context, bullying manifests itself in different forms depending on the age and developmental level at which it occurs, and the form and place where it is practiced. Although there are many studies on bullying in the literature, it is seen that these studies are mostly conducted on pre-university students, and that studies on bullying experienced by university students are quite limited. In addition, there is no study on the nature of bullying that university students are subjected to in terms of their religious thoughts and lifestyles. Therefore, this study aims to examine the bullying victimization of Faculty of Theology students regarding their religious thoughts and lifestyles and its consequences using explanatory sequential design, a mixed method design. In the quantitative dimension of the study, the questionnaire on bullying victimization regarding religious thoughts and lifestyles developed by the researchers was applied to a sample group of 390 people selected from the research population of Selcuk University Faculty of Theology. After the quantitative data were analyzed, the issues that needed to be explained were determined and the qualitative data of the study were collected through semi-structured interviews. The qualitative dimension of the study consisted of 15 students who stated that they were bullied in the faculty. It is thought that the data obtained from the research will serve as a guide to develop strategies to combat bullying in higher education institutions and to improve support mechanisms for the psychosocial needs of students.
