Abstract:

The aim of this study was to carry out validity and reliability analysis of the scale developed to measure cyberbullying sensibility. 663 students in Istanbul took part in the research. First, factor analysis was conducted on the scale. In the exploratory factor analysis, a model that explained 46,65 % of the total variation of single factor. The model was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis and it was seen that goodness of fit indices confirmed the model (Ki-kare x2= 3,220, RMSEA= .082). Co-efficiency of the internal consistency of the scale were .83 and .90, split half test reliability co-efficiency were .75 and .84. Furthermore, the item-total correlation changed between .42 and .63 and the all the differences in the average of 27 % sub-above groups were found to be significant. According to these results, the scale was valid and reliable
