Özet:

This study has studied the relationship between high school students’ violence trends, social problem-solving skills and some demographic variables. The study included a total of 176 students studying in two different high schools in Mersin (52.8 percent of girls and 47.2 percent of men). The research data was collected using the personal information form, the scale of violence, the scale of social problem solving. As a result of the study, there was a negative meaningful relationship between the levels of violence tendencies of students and the levels of social problem-solving. There have been similar tendencies of violence among the girls studying in the same school and among the boys studying in the same school. The levels of violence of girls at Toros Anadolu High School (TAL) were found higher than girls at the Mediterranean Imam Hatip Anadolu High School (IHL). In terms of social problem solving skills, AL students are homogeneous, while IHL students are heterogeneous. The ability to solve social problems of male students in AL was higher than the ability to solve social problems of male students in AL. As a result, AL can also be said that social problem solving skills are more homogeneous than IHL.
