Özet:

The aim of the current study was to discover the usability of the E- Bullying Scale (E-BS) and E-Victimization Scale (E-VS) among Turkish adolescents. For this purpose, two separate studies were conducted and supportive results for reliability and validity were gathered. In study I, the factorial structure of E-BS was investigated. Participants were 163 adolescents with ages ranged between 14 and 19. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an excellent model. A hundred and eighty eight (n=188) adolescents, with ages ranged from 14 to 19, took part in study 2. The factorial structure of E-VS demonstrated a single factor model that appeared a sufficient fit with data in confirmatory factor analysis. As for the reliability and convergent validity results, it can be stated that both of two instruments showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. In addition, the correlations of cyber bullying/victimization and e-bullying/victimization declared the assessment of bullying and victimization behaviors in cyberspace. In total, psychometric properties have shown that both of two instruments are valid and reliable.
