The present article deals with the incidence of violence cases in Turkish schools. A review of research based on published research reports and unpublished M.Sc. and Ph.D. dissertations is presented and basic lines of research are discussed. Special emphasis was placed upon culturally specific issues, besides the culturally determined attitudes of parents and teachers. The need for a nationwide system for the prevention of violence and corporal punishment was emphasized.

RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE AUTOMATIC THOUGHTS QUESTIONNAIRE
SAHIN, NH; SAHIN, N (Wiley, 1992-05-01)
The present study investigated the reliability and validity of the ATQ in the Turkish cultural context. It is hoped that with this type of cross-cultural information, the universality of the proposed cognitive constructs can be advocated more reliably. The subjects were 345 university students; the split-half reliability of the ATQ was found to be r = .91 and Cronbach's alpha was .93; and item/total correlations ranged between .36 and .69. The Turkish ATQ correlated well with the BDI (r = .75), and it discr...
Policy landscape in Turkey on school bullying an exploration of main issues and shortcomings from a socio-ecological perspective
Adıkutlu, Osman; Gündüz Hoşgör, Ayşe.; Department of Sociology (2019)
This thesis argues – and will seek to demonstrate that – policy implementations regarding violence and bullying against children in Turkey are still far from being adequate. Despite the improvements, Turkey still fares poor in relation to the aspirations of the international standards. There exist significant gaps to be addressed and fulfilled in overall understanding of violence, in legislation and implementation at school settings. Within the framework of this observation, the thesis, by adopting a socio-...

Classic strain theory and gender - The case of Turkey
Ozbay, Ozden; Ozcan, Yusuf Ziya (SAGE Publications, 2006-02-01)
A test of classic strain theory on gender in relation to assault, school delinquency, and public disturbance is investigated in high schools in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Data for the study, including class variables, involve a two-stage stratified cluster sample of high school students. The findings show that various strain and class measures do not appear to be associated consistently with delinquency and gender, except for perceived blocked opportunity for females. The effects of strain and class var...
Determinants of school attainment of boys and girls in Turkey: individual, household and community factors
Tansel, Aysıt (2002-10-01)
This study investigates the determinants of school attainments of boys and girls in Turkey. Although high levels of enrollments have been achieved at the primary school level for both boys and girls in much of Turkey, substantial regional differences remain. In particular, in the Southeastern region, girls begin to drop out of school around the third grade. Only half of the primary school graduates register at the middle level. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of educational at...
