This study aimed to investigate the relationships between parental (parental acceptance-rejection), personal (empathy, moral disengagement, problem solving) factors, and sibling bullying; and also peer bullying through sibling bullying. A structural equation model which theoretically based on Social Cognitive Theory and Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory was tested. Elementary school children (n=716) enrolled in 4th and 5th grades (51.5% were boys) were the participants. Revised-Sibling Bullying Questionnaire, Peer Relations Questionnaire, Moral Disengagement Scale, KASI Empathic Tendency Scale, Problem Solving Inventory for Children and Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire were the data collection instruments of this study along with a demographic information form. The applicability of the integration of Social Cognitive Theory and Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory as a theoretical framework in understanding sibling and peer bullying was supported by the tested SEM model. The results of SEM revealed the support for hypothesized model that children have higher levels of parental rejection perception showed also higher levels of moral disengagement; whereas, lower levels of empathic tendency and problem solving skills which resulted in higher levels of both sibling and peer bullying behaviors. In addition, sibling bullying was found to be significantly and positively related to peer bullying. Results were discussed in the light of the relevant literature, and in addition to implications for theory, research and practice; the recommendations for the further studies were introduced.

Sibling Bullying Perpetration: Associations With Gender, Grade, Peer Perpetration, Trait Anger, and Moral Disengagement
Tanrikulu, Ibrahim; Campbell, Marilyn A. (2015-03-01)
This study investigated bullying among siblings in both traditional and cyber forms, and the associations of gender, grade, peer bullying perpetration, trait anger, and moral disengagement. The participants were 455 children in Grades 5 to 12 (262 girls and 177 boys with 16 unknown gender) who had a sibling. As the number of siblings who only bullied by technology was low, these associations were not able to be calculated. However, the findings showed that the percentage of sibling traditional bullying perp...

Cilalı, Bengü; Erdur Baker, Özgür; Department of Educational Sciences (2015)
The present study was designed to test a model exploring the associations among sibling relationship quality, co-rumination, rumination, and depression. The sample of the current study was composed of 578 Turkish university students. The number of female participants was 336 (58 %) and the number of male participants was 242 (42 %). The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 26 (M= 20.86, Mdn= 21 Mo= 21, SD= 2.11). The Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale, the Co-Rumination Questionnaire, the Short Ve...
Bullying and victimization: Predictive role of individual, parental, and academic factors
ATİK, GÖKHAN; Güneri, Oya (2013-12-01)
This study explored the roles of individual factors (age, gender, locus of control, self-esteem, and loneliness), parenting style, and academic achievement in discriminating students involved in bullying (as bullies, victims, and bully/victims) from those not involved. Participants comprised 742 middle school students (393 females, 349 males). The results of multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that a higher locus of control, lower strictness/supervision scores, increased age, and being male i...

Parental attitudes and ego identity status of Turkish adolescents
Cakir, SG; Aydin, G (2005-12-01)
This study investigated the differences among 403 middle adolescents regarding Marcia's four identity statuses in terms of perceived parental attitudes and gender. The Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS-2) and Parental Education Scale (PAS) were used to collect data. Results showed that children of authoritative parents scored significantly higher on identity foreclosure than those of neglectful parents. Children of permissive parents scored significantly higher on identity foreclosu...
