Bağlanma ve zorbalık sisteminde yer alma: Başa çıkma stratejilerinin aracı rolü

Çalışmanın amacı, ebeveyne bağlanma biçiminin, ergenin zorbalık sistemi içinde kurban veya zorba olarak yer alması üzerindeki rolü ve kullanılan baş etme stratejilerinin bu ilişkideki aracı rolünü kız ve erkek ergenler için ayrı ayrı incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini İstanbul’daki 2 özel ve 3 devlet okulunun 6., 7., 8., 9. ve 10. sınıfl arında öğrenim gören, 197’si kız, 213’ü erkek olmak üzere toplam 410 öğrenci oluşturmuş. Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla, “Akran Zorbalığı Kurbanlarını Belirleme Ölçeği”, “Akran Zorbalarını Belirleme Ölçeği”, “Ebeveyne Bağlanma Ölçeği” ve “Başa Çıkma Stratejileri Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın amacına yönelik yapılan analizler sonucunda, erkek ergenlerde ebeveyne güvenli bağlanma ile hem zorbalığa maruz kalma hem de zorbalık gösterme arasında olumsuz yönde, anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca erkek ergenlerde ebeveyne güvenli bağlanma ile zorbalığa maruz kalma arasındaki ilişkide stresle başa çıkma stratejilerinden “kaçınma” stratejisinin aracı rol gördüğü, yani anılan ilişkiyi güçlendirdiği görülmüştür. Bulgular ilgili literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.

Attachment and being in bullying system: Mediational role of coping strategies

The objective of this study is to determine whether the parental attachment style of the adolescent plays a role in his/her exposure to bullying or being its perpetrator and to explicate the intermediary role of the coping strategies in this relation. As the sampling group for this study, 410 students, 197 girls and 213 boys, have been chosen from the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grades in three private and two general elementary and high schools in İstanbul. In this study “Peer Victimization Scale”, “Peer Bullying Scale”, “Parental Attachment Scale” and “Coping Strategies Scale” were utilized to gather data. The results of the analysis indicate that the parental attachment security reasonably predicts the role of the subject (a victim or a bully) for male adolescents in the bullying system. Moreover, it has also been observed that the avoidance strategy among the stress coping strategies plays an intermediary role in the relationship between parental attachment security and exposure to bullying in male adolescents. In other words it strengthens the said relationship. Findings are discussed within the framework of the related literature.
