Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the human values-oriented cyberbullying prevention program on adolescents' cyberbullying/cyber victimization and coping skills.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the human values-oriented cyberbullying prevention program have an impact on the cyberbullying or cyber victimization experienced by adolescents?
- Does the human values-oriented cyberbullying prevention program have an impact on adolescents' coping skills with cyberbullying or cyber victimization? The data are planned to be obtained by face-to-face interviews with students (adolescents). Adolescents who meet the conditions for inclusion in the study will be included in the experimental and control group. Pre-tests (Personal Information Form, Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale and Coping Scale for Adolescents) will be applied to adolescents in the experimental and control groups before the program.
Later, the human values-based cyberbullying prevention program, consisting of 8 sessions, will be applied to the adolescents who will form the experimental group, once a week, for 8 weeks. Each session of the program will be planned to be 40 minutes (one class hour). The sessions will be held in groups and interviews with adolescents in the experimental group where the program will be implemented will continue in the form of face-to-face interviews. Each group will consist of an average of 8-10 people. Immediately after the program sessions are completed, the final tests of the experimental group (Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale and Coping with Cyberbullying for Adolescents) will be applied. In addition, two months after the program is completed, follow-up tests (Cyber Victimization and Bullying Scale and Coping with Cyberbullying for Adolescents) will be applied. In the control group, no attempt will be made after the pre-test, the final test will be applied two and a half months later, and the follow-up tests will be applied two months after the last test. At the end of the study, the training guide prepared according to the human values-based cyberbullying prevention program will be shared with the adolescents in the control group.
