Akran Zorbalığı Gruplarında Empatik Eğilim

Bu araştırmanın amacı ilköğretim ikinci kademe öğrencileri arasında akran zorbalığının incelenmesi ve empatik eğilimin dört farklı akran zorbalığı grubunda (zorba, kurban, zorba/kurban ve karışmayan) yer alan öğrencileri zorbalık gruplarına göre hangi doğruluk düzeyinde sınıflandırdığını belirlemektir. Araştırma, 2010-2011 öğretim yılı bahar döneminde İzmir ve Malatya’da orta sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi temsil ettiği düşünülen dört ayrı ilköğretim okulunda 6.,7. ve 8. sınıfa devam eden 340 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak KA-Sİ Empatik Eğilim Ölçeği (Ergen Formu) ile Akran Zorbalığı Belirleme Ölçeği (Ergen Formu) kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde frekans dağılımları hesaplanmış ve diskriminant analiz yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin %3.4’ü zorba, %26.9’u kurban, %60.8’i zorba/kurban ve %8.6’sı karışmayan olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Diskriminant analiz sonucunda da duygusal empati ve bilişsel empatinin akran zorbalığı gruplarını (zorba, kurban, zorba/kurban, karışmayan) ayırmada kullanılabilecek değişkenler olduğu belirlenmiştir.
