Abstract:

Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the effects of high students' personalities and internet skills on being a cyberbully and cyber victim. Method: Relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in this study. The research group was determined as high schools located in the center of Erzincan province. First cohort consists of 1417 cluster sampling selected students from 6 different high schools while 138 purposefully picked students formed the second cohort. Personal Information Form, Cyber Bullying Risk Level Scale, Five Factor Personality Traits Scale and Performance Test for Cyber Bullying Based Internet Skills were used as data collection tools in the study. In the analysis of the data, the two-phase path was followed. The data collected in the first step were analyzed by using Excel and SPSS package program. According to the analysis results, students with cyber victim history have been included in the phase II. At the second stage, video recordings of the students participating in the performance test were analyzed. Collected data were analyzed by performing correlation and regression analysis using SPSS package program. Findings: In the study, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between being a cyberbully and being a cyber victim. A positive relationship has emerged between being cyber-victim and personality types such as extraversion, neuroticism, and openness to experience. A negative relationship has emerged between cyber victim status and personality types, mildness, and responsibility. A positive relationship is observed between being a cyberbully and extraversion as well as neuroticism. A statistically significant negative relationship was found between cyber-victimization and Internet skills. Neurotic personality and internet skills both have a predictive role on cyber victim status. In addition, neurotic personality is a significant predictor of being a cyberbully. Internet skills do not have a regulatory effect on the cyber victimization of individuals with neurotic personalities. Conclusions: According to the results, when high school students become cyber victims, they more likely become cyberbullies. There is a relationship between all personality types' cyber victim status. However, there is a relationship between the personality types of being a cyberbully and those other than openness to experience. The highest correlation in the case of being a cyber victim belongs to the personality of neuroticism. In the case of being a cyberbully, the personality type with the highest correlation is the neuroticism personality. There is a correlation and predictive value between being a cyber victim and Internet skills. Increasing or improving students' Internet skills can prevent cyber victimization. However, Internet skills have no regulatory effect on the cyber victimization of students with only neurotic personalities. In other words, the increase or decrease in internet skills does not change the cyber victims who have a neurotic personality.
