Abstract:

The main objective of this research is to determine the levels of cyber harassment and school extinction of high school students who participate in the research. The study also aims to study cyber harassment and school extinction in terms of gender, school type and class level variables. Finally, it was attempted to determine whether cyber harassment and victim is a meaningful indicator of school extinction. The data of the study was collected from a total of 604 students who studied in the ten high schools located in the Hatay or Kırıkhan district in the 2015-2016 educational year. The data is collected by the scale of cyber harassment and the scale of school extinction. Data analysis used visual statistics, t test, variance analysis and simple linear regression analysis. Imaginary analyses show that the students who participated in the study showed cyber harassment behavior between the levels "no time a week" and "one time a week". It has been determined that school extinctions of students significantly vary according to gender and school types, while levels of cyber harassment only significantly vary according to school types. From the point of view of school exhaust, girls and boys, compared to boys, have been determined to have significantly greater exhaust than those studying in professional high schools than students in other high schools. From the point of view of cyber harassment, students studying in the Anatolian High School have been determined to be more cyber harassment than students in other high schools, and they are more exposed to cyber harassment. Regression analysis found that cyber harassment and cyber harassment are significant indicators of school extinction and 11% of the school extinction variance.
