“…Teachers need anti-bullying plans to address all students' needs (Buhs et al, 2006;Conoley, 2008;Williams & Winslade, 2008). Students need a caring learning environment and connections to adults and peers (Bradshaw, Sawyer, & O'Brennan, 2007;Burlingame, 2004;Lindwall & Coleman, 2008;Walter et al, 2008). Students should be encouraged to talk about bullying to teachers (Egan & Todorov, 2009;Esbensen, & Carson, 2009;Evers, Prochaska, Van Martera, Johnson, & Prochaska, 2007;Glasser, 1998a;Hubbard, 2004;Hunt, 2007;Thompson & Gunter, 2008).…”

“…Glasser's (1998a) choice theory was used because this theory is closely related to bullying. According to Walter, Lambie, and Ngazimbi (2008), school interventions may help high school students in social decision-making processes by establishing and maintaining a safe learning environment where students are guided in making good choices when interacting with their peers online. School teachers need to recognize cyber bullying behaviors of students.…”

The research site was one high school located in southern United States where school stakeholders were concerned about student-to-student cyber bullying. The school district administrators did not examine student-to-student cyber bullying at the research site. The purpose of this case study was to explore teachers' experiences in student-to-student cyber bullying. The conceptual framework was based on choice theory. Data were collected from semi structured interviews with high school teachers. Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis for emergent themes. Findings included that the school district administrators and teachers should implement a cyber bullying intervention program for student-to-student online safety.

“…William Glasser, who generated choice theory and reality therapy, is also a school psychologist who has studied problems encountered in schools. The theory and therapy put forward by Glasser were used as a model in order to deal with the problems encountered in schools (Walter et al, 2008). In this regard, the choice theory and reality therapy approach can be used in the studies carried out by school counselors in order to prevent cyber bullying behaviors.…”

This study aims to propose a theoretical explanation for the cyberbullying problem, which is the use of cyber communication tools to endanger other people. In recent years, the cyberbullying problem, which is widespread especially among the young, has been the subject of scientific studies. These studies have mostly focused on the issues of causes and results of cyberbullying, and variables related to it. The research has shown that the ones showing cyberbullying behaviors or the ones trying to prevent these behaviors are in need of studies aiming to minimize these kinds of behaviors. It has been observed that theoretical explanations directed towards the minimization of this behavior and towards making contributions to the studies aiming to prevent cyberbullying are required. In this study, cyberbullying is discussed within the framework of William Glasser's choice theory. In the study, first, information about cyberbullying is presented, and then, general views of choice theory related to the nature of humans are clarified. Lastly, assessments about cyberbullying are stated with regard to the concepts in choice theory, such as basic needs, Quality World, successful and unsuccessful identity, choice and responsibility.

“…Similarly, Ma's [10] report, Kum-Walks have attributed the recently escalating violence in schools to the inability to meet the belonging to school need requirements of the students. Again, Walter et al [14] according to the report of Beck indicated that discipline problems in students usually occur because of the lack of a sense of belonging; and ensuring the participation of the students in social relationships and social activities may be useful to meet belonging requirements of the students. Walter et al [14] emphasized that the failure to meet the belonging needs of the students may also cause shyness as well as unwanted behaviors.…”

Abstract:The aim of the study is to develop a belonging to the university scale (BUS) in order to determine the level of fulfillment of the need to belong among university students at the higher education institutions they attend. The population of the investigation includes university students studying at the campus of Ordu University. A 5 point Likert-type scale was created in the study. The SPSS 15 and LISREL-8.15 programs were used in the statistical analysis performed during development of the scale. Content validity and construct validity techniques were used for validity analysis. The internal consistency checks of belonging to the university scale were completed. The research data is given as mean and percent, and t-test and one-way variance analysis were conducted in order to determine the differences between the groups and the values of belonging to the university. The internal consistency Cronbach α reliability coefficient values of the scale and the test-retest reliability of the test results were satisfactory. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed for the construct validity of the scale and three dimensions (Motivation, Expectations and Identification) were identified. The level of belonging of university students to the university they attend was examined with the scale with the validity and reliability tested and suggestions are presented in accordance with the obtained results.
