CYBERBULLYING VICTIMIZATION: A STUDY OF MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Öz

Cyberbullying, a new growing phenomenon due to society's heavy reliance on advanced technologies is an intricate and ever-evolving form of bullying. Little is known about how cyberbullying is perpetrated at the middle and high school levels. The current study aims to investigate the prevalence, impact, and differential experience of cyberbullying victimization comprehensively. The participants of the study consist of 1752 middle and high school students in İstanbul. The cyber victimization inventory and personal information questionnaire were used to gather research data. These surveys examined the relationship between cyber victimization and technology use and students’ sociodemographic information. As a result of the research, it was observed that male students experienced significantly higher cyber victimization than females. Also, the results demonstrated that 10^th and 11^th grade students have experienced more cyber victimization compared to 6^th, 7^th, 8^th, and 9^th grade students. When internet access was not supervised by the parents and students’ time of internet usage increased, it was found that they have experienced cyber victimization significantly higher. This research contributes to the literature in terms of revealing cyber victimization and related factors. Understanding the level of cyber victimization that children are exposed to and the factors related to victimization are important for reinforcing studies to prevent bullying behaviors in the online environment.

SİBER ZORBALIK MAĞDURİYETİ: ORTAOKUL VE LİSE ÖĞRENCİLERİYLE BİR ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Siber zorbalık, toplumun ileri teknolojilere olan yoğun bağımlılığı nedeniyle büyüyen yeni bir fenomen, zorlayıcı ve sürekli gelişen bir zorbalık şeklidir. Orta ve lise düzeyindeki ergenlerde siber zorbalığın nasıl sürdürüldüğü hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, siber zorbalık mağduriyetinin yaygınlığını, etkisini ve farklı deneyimlerini kapsamlı bir şekilde araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın katılımcı grubu İstanbul'da ortaokul ve lise dzüeyinde okullarda okuyan 1752 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verilerini toplamak için “Siber mağduriyet envanteri” ve “Kişisel bilgi formu” kullanılmıştır. Çalışma siber mağduriyet ile teknoloji kullanımı ve öğrencilerin sosyodemografik değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, erkek öğrencilerin kadınlardan anlamlı derecede daha yüksek siber mağduriyet yaşadıkları görülmüştür. Ayrıca, sonuçlar 10. ve 11. sınıf öğrencilerinin 6., 7., 8. ve 9. sınıf öğrencilerine göre anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla siber mağduriyet yaşadıklarını göstermiştir. İnternet erişimi ebeveynler tarafından denetlenmediğinde ve öğrencilerin internet kullanım süresi arttıkça, siber mağduriyet yaşamalarının anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Bu araştırma, siber mağduriyet ve bununla ilgili faktörlerin ortaya çıkması açısından literature katkıda bulunmaktadır. Çocukların maruz kaldıkları siber mağduriyet seviyesinin ve mağduriyetle ilgili faktörlerin anlaşılması, çevrimiçi ortamda zorbalık davranışlarını önleme çalışmalarının güçlendirilmesi için önemlidir.
