An examination of peer aggression and victimization in relation to psycho-social variables

Araştırmanın amacı, saldırganlık ve mağduriyetin gözlenen ve ilişkisel boyutlarını yordayan değişkenlerin belirlenmesidir. Ankara ilinde 6.-8. sınıflara devam eden 384 öğrenci araştırma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Öğrenciler olumsuz bilişsel hatalar, saldırganlık, mağduriyet ve algılanan anababa tutumu ölçeklerini, anababaları ise davranış sorunları ve duygu ayarlama ölçeklerini doldurmuşlardır. Öğrencinin yaşı ile gözlenen ve ilişkisel saldırganlık arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Regresyon analizleri, davranış sorunları ölçeğinin dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite ve sosyal problemler gibi bazı alt ölçeklerinin, bilişsel hataların ve algılanan baba tutumunun gözlenen ve ilişkisel saldırganlık ile gözlenen ve ilişkisel mağduriyeti yordadığını göstermiştir. Bulgular, sosyal-duygusal değişkenlerle, olumsuz bilişsel hatalar gibi bilgi işleme süreçlerinin saldırganlık ve mağduriyetle ilişkisi bağlamında tartışılmıştır.

Akran saldırganlığı ve mağduriyetinin psiko-sosyal değişkenler açısından incelenmesi

The present study aimed to identify the variables in relation to overt and relational aggression and victimization. The study group consisted of children (n=384) attending 6th, 7th and 8th grades of elementary schools in Ankara. Children completed negative cognitive errors, aggression, victimization and perceived parenting scales while their parents filled in emotion regulation and behavior problems scales. A negative relationship was found between age and overt and relational aggresion. Regression analyses demonstrated that ADHD and social problems subscales, cognitive errors and perceived father attitudes predicted overt and relational aggression and victimization. Findings were discussed in relation to social-emotional variables and negative cognitions in our understanding of the aggression and victimization.
