Abstract :
The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of socio-demographic variables (age, gender, school, etc.), internet usage related variables, anger and anger expression styles, submissive and coping styles concerning cyber bullying and cyber victimization amongst adolescents. Data was collected from 506 students at the Nesrin Uçmakoğlu Technical Vocational High School, Atatürk Industrial Vocational High School and Güç Kardeşler Anatolian School in Istanbul through the sampling method. The sample for this study comprised 213 male students (42.1 %) and 293 female students (57.9 %). A Personal Information Form, Cyber Bullying Scale, Cyber Victimization scale, Submissive scale, Trait Anger, an Anger Expression scale and a Coping Styles inventory were employed. Depending upon the data concerning gender, student’s grade, father’s education status and playing video games variables, significant differences were found to occur in cyber bullying. From cyber victimization the student’s grade and academic success have significant differences. A significant relationship was not found between the Submissive scale and Cyber Victimization scale and also the same pattern was observed between the Submissive Scale and Cyber Bullying Scale.
