Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı cinsiyet, akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve siber zorbalık mağduriyeti düzeyinin intihar düşüncelerinin anlamlı yordayıcıları olup olmadığını incelemektir. Çalışmada korelasyonel model kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları 211 lise öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların seçiminde kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların 137'si kadın, 74'ü erkek, 157'si lise dokuzuncu sınıf ve 54'ü lise onuncu sınıf öğrencisidir. Çalışmada veri toplamak için Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı, Siber Zorbalık/Mağduriyet ve İntihar Düşünceleri olmak üzere üç ölçek kullanılmıştır. Bu ölçeklere ek olarak öğrencilerin cinsiyet ve sınıf bilgileri de sorulmuştur. İstatistiksel analiz için değişkenlerin intihar düşüncelerini ne kadar iyi yordadığını değerlendirmek amacıyla korelasyon ve doğrusal hiyerarşik regresyonlardan yararlanılmıştır. Çalışma, sınıf ve cinsiyetin intihar düşüncelerinin anlamlı yordayıcıları olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Yine de akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve siber zorbalık mağduriyeti intihar düşüncelerinin anlamlı yordayıcılarıydı.

The Effects of Smartphone Addiction and Cyber Victimisation on Suicidal Ideation of Adolescents in Turkey

Öz

This study aims to examine whether gender, smartphone addiction, and the level of cyberbullying victimisation are significant predictors of suicidal ideations. The correlational model was used in the study. The participants of the study consisted of 211 high school students. The convenience sampling method was used in the selection of the participants. Among the participants, 137 are female, 74 are male, 157 are ninth, and 54 are tenth-grade high school students. Three scales, namely Smartphone Addiction, Cyber Bullying / Victimisation, and Suicidal Ideations, were used to collect data in the study. In addition to these scales, students' gender and grade information were asked. For the statistical analysis, correlation and linear hierarchical regressions were utilized to evaluate how well variables predicted suicide ideation. The study revealed that grade and gender were not significant predictors of suicidal ideations. Still, smartphone addiction and cyberbullying victimisation were significant predictors of suicidal ideations.
