Sample stratified sampling method was used in the sample selection. In order to collect the necessary data for the research, Personal Information Form, Schwartz Portrait Values Survey and Bullying Tendencies Scale were used.In the study, the distribution of the scores belonging to dependent variables at the pores of the subunits of the independent variables was analyzed in terms of the assumptions of normality. In the analysis process, non-parametric statistical methods were preferred. For this purpose, data were tested in accordance with the sub-problems of the research using descriptive analysis (mean and standard deviation) and non-parametric analysis such as Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis H test. In analysis of the data, statistical package software program was used and the significance level of p<.05 was taken.A significant level of difference was found between total value scores of students according to their classes and the number physical education and sports courses taken by those students. A significant level of difference was found between total bullying tendency scores of students by their genders, the number physical education and sports courses taken by those students and the students' family income. A significant level of difference was found between total bullying tendency scores of students by the type of schools they attend. A significant level of difference was found between total value scores of students according to the type of schools they attend. A moderate negative relationship was found between the total value scores and total bullying tendency scores of students. Accordingly, as the total value scores of student increase, their bullying tendency scores decrease.
