The study aims to examine the various psychological and behavioral effects that may occur in individuals who are exposed to or witness cyberbullying on digital natives and the defense mechanisms developed to avoid being exposed to cyberbullying. In the study, the quantitative research method of communication and social sciences, survey, is used. According to the findings of the study, individuals exposed to cyberbullying experience psychological and behavioral disorders such as anxiety and depression, decreased academic performance, skipping school and being absent; constantly thinking about the incident; feeling very sad; losing interest in everything around them; staying away from the internet and experiencing concentration problems.

Özet

Siber zorbalığa maruz kalan ya da tanık olan dijital yerlilerde çeşitli psikolojik ve davranışsal rahatsızlıklar oluşmaktadır. Yeni ve sosyal medyanın sahip olduğu karakteristik özellikleri zorbalık ve saldırganlık türlerine siber zorbalık olgusu ve kavramının eklenmesi ile sonuçlanmıştır. Siber zorbalık, yalan söyleme, kendini başkası olarak tanıtma, kimliğini gizleme, tehdit etme, alay etme, karalama, hakaret etme, dedikodu yapma, korkutma ve başkalarının resimlerini rızası olmadan sanal ortamda sergileme gibi olumsuz davranışlar şeklinde seyretmektedir. Siber zorbalığa maruz kalan bireylerde çaresizlik, öfke, üzüntü, endişe, yalnızlık, hayal kırıklığı gibi duyguları ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Çalışma, yeni ve sosyal medyada siber zorbalığa maruz kalan ya da tanık olan bireylerde ortaya çıkabilecek çeşitli psikolojik ve davranışsal etkiler ile siber zorbalığa maruz kalmamak için geliştirilen savunma mekanizmalarını dijital yerlilerde üzerinden incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada iletişim ve sosyal bilimlerin araştırma, yöntem ve tekniklerinden kantitatif (nicel) araştırma yöntemi olan survey (tarama) kullanılmaktadır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre siber zorbalığa maruz kalan bireylerde; anksiyete ve depresyon akademik performansı düşmek ve okuldan kaçarak, devamsızlık yapmak; sürekli olarak o olayı düşünmeye başlamak, çok üzülme; çevresindeki her şeye olan ilgisini kaybetme; internetten uzaklaşma ve konsantrasyon bozukluğu yaşamak gibi psikolojik ve davranışsal rahatsızlıklar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışmaya göre bireyler siber zorbalık olgusu ve siber zorbacılık hakkında ve siber zorbalığa maruz kalmamak için çeşitli savunma mekanizmaları bilgilerine sahiptir. Araştırmanın yeni ve sosyal medyada gerçekleşen siber zorbalık türlerini incelemesi ve siber zorbalığın psikolojik ve davranışsal etkileri açıklaması açısından önemli olduğunu düşünülmektedir.
