Yayci, Levent
International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, v12 n2 p374-387 2020
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between revenge behavior and life satisfaction among students at a state university in Turkey, and to determine whether the revenge behavior and life satisfaction levels differed according to some variables such as gender and grade. A total number of 300 students; 178 female and 122 male, at the Faculty of Education participated in the study voluntarily. The participant students were selected randomly in the equal number of 75 from the1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. The data collection tools administered were the Vengeance Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. For the data analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were utilized. The results of the study revealed that there was a low negative correlation (r =-0.24) between the revenge behavior and the life satisfaction levels of the participants. In addition, the revenge and life satisfaction levels differed by gender variable; there was no significant difference between the grade levels and life satisfaction, and there was a significant difference among the grade levels regarding the revenge variable. It was also found out that the life satisfaction level of female students was significantly higher than male students while the revenge behavior levels of male students were significantly higher than those of female students. Among all participants in all grade levels the revenge behavior level of 3rdgrade students was found to be the highest.
