Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ergenlerde internet bağımlılığı ve şiddet eğilimi düzeylerini belirlemek, daha sonra bazı değişkenlerin bu düzeylerle olan ilişkilerini incelemektir. Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırma, liselerde okuyan 537 ergen (erkek = 363, kadın = 174) ile yapılmıştır. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu, İnternet Bağımlılığı Ölçeği (İBÖ) ve Şiddet Eğilimi Ölçeği (ŞEÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Ergenlerle ilgili değişkenler ile İBÖ ve ŞEÖ düzeyleri arasında ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ergenlerin internet bağımlılık düzeylerinin düşük olduğu ve şiddete eğilimlerinin orta düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. ŞEÖ ve İBÖ toplam puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak orta derecede pozitif yönde anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, ergenlerin internet bağımlılığı düzeyleri arttıkça şiddete eğilim düzeylerinin arttığı belirlenmiştir. Ergenlerin internet bağımlılığı açısından gözlemlenmesi ve şiddete eğilimleri konusunda dikkatli olunması gerektiği önerilmektedir.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine internet addiction and violence tendency levels among adolescents, and then to examine their some variables as well as their interrelationship with those levels. This cross-sectional and descriptive type of research was conducted with 537 adolescents (male=363, female=174) studied in high schools. Data were collected with a personal information form, the Internet Addiction Scale (IAS) and the Violence Tendency Scale (VTS). The relationship was determined between adolescents’ variables and the outcomes of IAS and VTS. It was determined that the internet addiction levels of the adolescents were low and their tendency toward violence was at moderate level. A statistically significant correlation was found in the direction of moderate positivity between the VTS and IAS totals. As a conclusion, it was determined that levels of tendency toward violence increase in adolescents as their levels of internet addiction increase. It is suggested that adolescents should be observed in terms of internet addiction and caution should be taken in terms of their tendency towards violence.
