Abstract (2. Language):

Cyberbullying is a complicated and multifaceted phenomenon especially among youngsters, thus understanding the determinants of cyberbullying is prominent to explain what causes youngsters experience cyberbullying. Since little is known about the link between personality traits and cyberbullying, the current study aimed to explore the effects of vocational high school students’ personality traits on their cyberbullying behaviors. In this regard, “Cyber victim/bully Scale”, and “Adjective Based Personality Scale” were administered to 246 participant students. A structural regression model was developed with predictor variables and tested to see the effects of personality traits on cyberbullying. The goodness of fit indices indicated acceptable fitness (χ2/df:2.63, RMSEA: .08, GFI: .55, AGFI: .53, CFI: .61, IFI: .61). The results illustrated that openness is the strongest significant predictor of both cyberbullying (R2=-.83, p<.05) and being bullied (R2=-.77, p<.05). Yet another significant but positive predictor of cyberbully is extroversion (R2=.54, p<.05). However, the weakest positive significant predictor of cyberbully is agreeableness (R2=.14, p<.05). In addition to openness, conscientiousness was also found to be another significant predictor of being bullied (R2=.64, p<.05). Surprisingly, neuroticism has no significant effect on cyberbullying and being bullied.

Abstract (Original Language):

Siber zorbalık özellikle gençler ve çocuklar arasında kendini gösteren son derece yaygın, karmaşık ve çok yönlü bir olgudur. Siber zorbalığın önlenebilmesi için zorbalığa neden olan hususların bilinmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Kişilik özellikleri ve siber zorbalık davranışı arasındaki ilişkinin yeterince incelenmediği gerçeğinden hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı öğrencilerinin kişilik özelliklerinin siber zorbalık davranışlarına etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmada, “siber zorba/mağdur ölçeği” ve “sıfatlara dayalı kişilik testi” 246 meslek lisesi öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. Kişilik özelliklerinin siber zorbalık üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmak üzere yapısal regresyon modeli geliştirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda model uyumu kabul edilebilir düzeyde bulunmuştur (χ2/df:2.63, RMSEA:.08, GFI: .55, AGFI: .53, CFI: .61, IFI: .61). Deneyime açıklığın siber zorbalık (R2=-.83, p<. 05) ve mağduriyetin (R2=-.77, p<.05) doğrudan ve anlamlı düzeyde en güçlü yordayıcısı olduğu, dışa dönüklüğün ise (R2=.54, p<.05) siber zorbalığın pozitif yordayıcısı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Uyumluluk/geçimlilik kişilik özelliğinin (R2=.14, p<.05) siber zorbalık üzerinde düşük ve pozitif düzeyde, sorumluluk (R2=.64, p<.05) ve deneyime açıklık kişilik özelliklerinin (R2=-.77, p<.05) mağduriyet üzerinde doğrudan ve anlamlı düzeyde etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmanın en anlamlı sonucu, deneyime açıklık kişilik özelliğinin hem zorbalık hem de mağduriyetin en güçlü ve negatif düzeyde yordayıcısı olmasıdır. Ayrıca, beklenenin aksine, nevrotik kişilik özelliğinin zorbalık ve mağduriyet üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
