“…Fiziksel zorbalıkta saldırgan gücünü fiziki açıdan güçlü olmasından ya da sosyal olmasından alıyorken; sanal zorbalıkta işin içine sanal ortamlar üzerindeki yeterlilik de girmektedir (Patchin ve Hinduja, 2006). Türkiye'de siber zorbalık 1980'lerde internet kullanımının başlamasıyla ortaya çıkmıştır ve bu zamandan beri artan bir şekilde devam etmektedir (Turan, Polat, Karapirli, Uysal ve Turan, 2011). Bu konudaki çalışmalar ise 2007 yılında yapılmaya başlanmıştır.…”

 İbrahim UYSAL  Güler DUMAN  Elif YAZICI  Merve ŞAHİN  ÖzSon yıllarda bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmeler, zorbalığının yeni bir biçimi olan siber zorbalık kavramını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Siber zorbalık insanların hayatlarını olumsuz yönde etkileyen toplumsal bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Siber zorbalığın olumsuz yönlerini azaltmada ve siber zorbalık ile başa çıkmada anahtar unsur ise siber zorbalık duyarlılığına sahip olmaktır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının siber zorbalık duyarlılıklarını cinsiyet ve bölüm değişkenleri açısından incelemektir. Tarama modelinin kullanıldığı bu araştırma, Batı Karadeniz Bölgesindeki bir üniversitenin Eğitim Fakültesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 296 öğretmen adayı üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Tanrıkulu, Kınay ve Arıcak (2013) tarafından geliştirilen "Siber Zorbalığa ilişkin Duyarlılık Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır ve nicel veriler 2012-2013 öğretim yılı yaz döneminde toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde "Mann Whitney U Test" ve "Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi" kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının siber zorbalık duyarlılıklarının yüksek olduğu fakat cinsiyet ve bölüme göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmanın siber zorbalığa ilişkin farkındalığı da ortaya çıkardığı dikkate alınarak bu farkındalığın çeşitli değişkenlerle birlikte incelenmesi ve sonuçların karşılaştırılması önerilebilir. Ayrıca nitel ve nicel çalışmalar aynı araştırmada kullanılarak siber zorbalık duyarlılığı konusunda derinlemesine bilgi edinilebilir. Cyberbullying has become a social concern affecting people's lives negatively similar to bullying. The sensibility towards cyberbullying is the key factor to minimize the negative effects of cyberbullying and get ready for managing cyberbullying. This study aimed to examine preservice sensibility towards cyberbullying in terms of demographic variables such as gender and department. A survey method was adopted in the study and data were collected from 296 pre-service teachers studying at education faculty of a university in the western Black Sea region. "Cyberbullying Sensibility Scale" developed by Tanrıkulu, Kınay and Arıcak (2013) was used as the data collection instrument to collect the quantitative data during the spring term of 2012-2013 academic year. In the data analysis process "Mann Whitney U Test" and "Confirmatory Factor Analysis" was computed. The results indicated that although the pre-service teachers had a high level of sensibility towards cyberbullying, their sensibility levels did not differ depending on their genders and departments. Reflecting on these results, the study revealed pre-service teachers' sensibility towards cyberbullying, so future studies could be conducted across different settings with different variables in order to present a more complete picture of cyberbullying. Also, mixed methods studies could be carried out to provide in-depth information about sensibility towards cyberbullying.

“…Moreover, as Sheri Bauman (2011) emphasised, the anonymity of the bully can generate a growing sense of widespread distrust in victims that can affect the quality of their relationships with friends and relatives. The expected superiority of the aggressor in comparison to the victim, either in terms of physical stature, age or social popularity, commonly seen as facilitators of traditional bullying (Turan et al 2011), may be replaced in cyberbullying by the adolescent's mastery of technologies (Matos et al 2011) associated with the fact that aggression in the digital world can occur at any time or place, simply for entertainment or for revenge (Willard 2005).…”

Boys’ and girls’ cyberbullying behaviours in Portugal: Exploring sex differences in adolescence using gender lenses

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we explore the differences in the responses of adolescent boys and girls, as victims or perpetrators of cyberbullying, in a Portuguese study involving 1683 boys and 1837 girls from the 6 th , 8 th and 11 th years in 23 schools. More girls were cybervictims and more males were cyberaggressors. In both sexes, having already been a perpetrator was positively associated with having already been a victim. The breakdown of friendships and social rejection were the reasons most frequently cited by girls for experiencing and engaging in cyberbullying and they were more able than boys to disclose the motives and emotions involved in cyberacts. The implications are discussed, taking gender socialization and the characteristics of this stage of development into consideration.Keywords: cyberbullying, differences between boyas and girls, adlescence, peer interaction analysis, gender stereotypes. ResumoComportamentos de cyberbullying em rapazes e raparigas em Portugal: explorando diferenças entre os sexos na adolescência através das lentes de género O artigo explora diferenças entre as respostas de rapazes e raparigas adolescentes, quer como vítimas, quer como perpetradores/as de cyberbulling, num estudo português com 1683 alunos e 1837 alunas do 6.º, 8.º e 11.º ano de 23 escolas. Elas tenderam mais a ser vítimas e eles a serem agressores. Em ambos os sexos, ter sido já perpetrador mostrou-se positivamente associado ao já ter sido vítima. A quebra de amizades e a rejeição social foram as razões mais apontadas por elas para explicar as experiências quer de vitimização, quer de perpetração de cyberbullying, sendo que foram mais capazes do que eles de indicar as emoções e os motivos envolvidos. São discutidas implicações, levando em conta a socialização de género e as caraterísticas desta etapa do desenvolvimento.Palavras-chave: cyberbullying, diferenças entre os sexos, adolescência, estilos de interação entre pares, estereótipos de género.

“…El abuso o la adicción no son los únicos efectos nocivos que se han atribuido al uso de teléfonos móviles; se han investigado otros efectos perjudiciales relacionados con las distintas formas de acoso vía móvil (Turan, Polat, Karapirli, Uysal y Turan, 2011) y un aumento del riesgo de accidentes laborales y de tráfico, vinculados a la interferencia sensorial durante su uso (Backer-Grøndahl y Sagberg, 2011). Por otro lado, y dado que el teléfono móvil funciona mediante emisión y recepción de ondas electromagnéticas de baja frecuencia (radiofrecuencias), se han realizado estudios para investigar los posibles efectos neurológicos y neuropsicológicos que pudiera ocasionar su aplicación en la superficie craneal; así como su posible relación con tumores intracraneales, en la medida en que algunas longitudes de onda del espectro electromagnético parecen tener efectos perjudiciales sobre la salud (Heinrich, Thomas, Heumann, von Kries y Radon, 2011).…”

The mobile phone is a relatively new technological tool, versatile and accessible, and very attractive, especially for young people, but whose use involves a risk of abuse and addictive behavior. In recent years there has been increasing interest in this problem, especially in view of the fact that it involves an increasingly younger population. The aim of this paper is to review the current state of scientific knowledge about cell phone addiction/abuse. To this end, a search was carried out in international databases, using the descriptors "mobile phone", "cellular telephones", "addiction" and "abuse", and focusing on prevalence studies, diagnostic tests, associations with psychological variables and gender differences. There is a conceptual vagueness about the concepts of abuse and addiction in relation to mobile phones, and wide disparity in the adoption of diagnostic criteria; moreover, there are numerous instruments for the assessment of these concepts. As a result, the estimated prevalence ranges from 0-38%, depending on the scale used and the characteristics of the population studied. Surprisingly, self-attribution of cell phone addiction exceeds the prevalence estimated in the studies themselves. The personality trait most consistently associated with addiction is low self-esteem, though extraversion is associated with more intense use. Women with low self-esteem are the most vulnerable group, and the most commonly associated psychopathological symptom was depression. In short, while the evidence suggests a problem in relation to mobile phone use, the vagueness of the cell phone addiction concept and the poor quality of the studies make it difficult to generalize the results. It is necessary to define and unify criteria with a view to carrying out quality studies that permit appropriate comparisons.Key words: Mobile phone, behavioral addictions, review, new technologies, gender differences, diagnosis.El teléfono móvil es un instrumento tecnológico relativamente nuevo, versátil y accesible, muy atractivo, especialmente para jóvenes, cuyo uso conlleva riesgo de abuso y comportamiento adictivo. En los últimos años ha aumentando el interés por este problema, especialmente por la implicación de población cada vez más joven. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar el estado actual del conocimiento sobre la adicción/ abuso del móvil. Para ello, se efectuó una búsqueda en bases de datos internacionales, utilizando los descriptores "mobile phone", "cellular telephones", "addiction" y "abuse", focalizándose en estudios de prevalencia, pruebas diagnósticas, asociaciones con variables psicológicas y diferencias de género. Se observa una indefinición conceptual sobre los conceptos de abuso y adicción al móvil, gran disparidad en la adopción de criterios diagnósticos y multiplicidad de instrumentos para su estimación. Consecuentemente, la prevalencia estimada oscila entre 0-38%, en función de la escala y características de la población estudiada. La autoatribución de adicción al móvil supera la estimación que alca...
