The predictive effect of internet addiction and psychiatric disorders on traditional peer bullying

Objective: Traditional peer bullying (TPB) is a worldwide problem and 20-56% of adolescents are thought to be affected. Some studies suggest that internet addiction may be related to negative behaviors such as bullying. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of TPB in the clinical psychiatric sample of adolescents and to investigate the predictive effect of age, gender, psychiatric diseases and (internet addiction) IA on roles in TPB. Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted with 214 adolescents in the age range of 12-16 years. Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version were used for psychiatric evaluations of the participants. Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) and Young Internet Addiction Scale were carried out to all participants. The predictive effect of age, gender, IA and psychiatric disorders on roles in TPB was evaluated by multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the participants was 14.5 years. According to the results of the OBVQ, 49% of the participants were involved in TPB (victims: 35%, bullies: 14%). Regression analysis revealed that age and gender had no effect on roles in TPB, but IA had a predictive effect on both victimization (p

İnternet bağımlılığı ve psikiyatrik bozuklukların geleneksel akran zorbalığı üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisi

Amaç: Geleneksel akran zorbalığı (GAZ) dünya çapında bir sorundur ve ergenlerin %20-56'sının etkilendiği düşünülmektedir. Bazı çalışmalar internet bağımlılığının (İB) zorbalık gibi olumsuz davranışlarla ilişkili olabileceğini öne sürmüştür. Bu çalışmada ergenlerden oluşan klinik psikiyatrik örneklemde GAZ yaygınlığının belirlenmesi ve yaş, cinsiyet, psikiyatrik bozuklukların ve İB'nin GAZ'deki roller üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisi araştırıldı. Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, 12-16 yaşları arasındaki 214 ergenle yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların psikiyatrik değerlendirmeleri için Okul Çağı Çocukları için Duygulanım Bozuklukları ve Şizofreni Görüşme Çizelgesi Şimdi ve Yaşam Boyu Şekli kullanılmıştır. Olweus Zorba/Kurban Anketi (OZKA) ve Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Ölçeği tüm katılımcılara uygulanmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet, İB ve psikiyatrik bozuklukların GAZ'deki roller üzerindeki yordayıcı etkisi multinomial lojistik regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 14.5'tir. OZKA sonuçlarına göre, katılımcıların %49'u GAZ'de yer almıştır (kurban: %35, zorba: %14). Regresyon analizi yaş ve cinsiyetin GAZ'deki rolleri etkilemediğini, ancak İB'nin hem kurban olma (p
