Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to identify the violence tendencies of students who are trained in the secondary school. In accordance with this goal, a total of 389 students, including 145 girls and 244 boys, participated voluntarily in the study. Participants have received a violent tendency scale of 20 questions. Individual violence tendency average has been studied in terms of various variables such as gender, age, class, area, sports history, family income. Analysis of the data from the study used the SPSS 20.0 program. The normality test (Kolmogorow-Smirnov D test) and the number of data test methods are identified. Since the data of the study did not show normal distribution enough to apply the parametric test, Kruskal-Wallis H, Mann-Whitney U tests were used. In statistical analyses, the significance level is selected as p<0.05 . The results of the analyses were that there was no statistically significant differences in the gender, education area, sports history, family income, parent-parent education status, school type (right and sports high school), parent-parent work status, brothers and sisters number and parent-parent attitude variations (p>0,05). The research group found a statistically significant difference in the variable in self-defining and friend-defining (p<0,05). As a result, individuals who are educated at the level of secondary education can be said that the violent tendencies are affected by the characteristics that the group of friends possesses and by the state they own.
