Bullying Behaviors and School Climate through the Perspective of Primary-School Students
Özbek, Özlem Yesim; Taneri, Pervin Oya
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the International EJERCongress (2022)
Bullying, which is a global public health problem, has serious effects on children and adolescents. If peer-bullying behaviors among primary-school children with various effects ranging from low academic achievement, anxiety and depression to suicide and substance abuse are not detected and intervened in a timely manner, they have the risk of continuing to increase in frequency. School climate is one of the most important factors in the emergence and elimination of bullying behaviors. Therefore, it is important to examine the frequency and types of bullying behaviors among primary-school children and the views of children about school climate, to reveal the in-school factors affecting peer-bullying and to create effective intervention programs. In this study, it was aimed to determine the frequency and type of bullying behaviors experienced at primary-school level in Çankiri Province and to examine students' opinions about school climate. The sample of the research consists of 590 primary-school students selected through cluster sampling from Çankiri Province. The data of the study were collected using the Colorado School Climate Survey. Descriptive analyzes were done on the data with the help of SPSS program. The research showed that physical and relational bullying is the most common type of bullying among primary-school students, and in case of bullying, the victims most often get help from their family or an adult at school.
