Abstract

Sexual victimization in public transport is a significant social problem strived for its solution at the present time. This research was conducted to examine whether or not experiencing sexual victimization in public transport has an effect on psychological symptoms, and offer a perspective about this issue. The sample of the study consists of 220 female participants (110= experienced sexual victimization in public transport, 110= not experienced sexual victimization in public transport). In the study, Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), The State Anxiety Inventory, The Fear of Crime Scale, General Self Efficacy (GSE) Scale, and Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale were used. Research data were analyzed with multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), One- way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and descriptive statistics. The results show that women who experienced sexual victimization in public transportation, compared to women who not experienced sexual victimization in public transport, have significantly higher levels of general psychological symptoms, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, fear of crime, and state anxiety scores, while they have significantly lower self-esteem level. But, there was no significant difference in the self-efficacy levels between groups. The strengths, limitations, and contributions of the study were discussed in the light of the literature

Özet

Toplu taşımada cinsel mağduriyet, günümüzde çözümü için girişimlerde bulunulan önemli bir toplumsal sorundur. Bu araştırma, toplu taşımada cinsel mağduriyet yaşamış olmanın psikolojik belirtiler üzerine etkisinin olup olmadığını incelemek ve bu konu hakkında perspektif oluşturabilmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemi 220 kadın katılımcıdan (110= toplu taşımada cinsel mağduriyet yaşamış, 110= toplu taşımada cinsel mağduriyet yaşamamış) oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada Kısa Semptom Envanteri (KSE), Olayların Etkisi Ölçeği (IES-R), Durumluk Kaygı Envanteri, Suç Mağduriyeti Korkusu Ölçeği, Genel Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği ve Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, çok yönlü varyans analizi (MANOVA), tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve betimsel istatistiklerle analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, toplu taşımada cinsel mağduriyet yaşayan bireylerin cinsel mağduriyet yaşamayanlara kıyasla genel psikolojik belirti düzeylerinin, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu belirtilerinin, suç mağduriyeti korkusunun ve durumluk kaygı düzeylerinin anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğunu; benlik saygısı düzeylerinin ise anlamlı derecede daha düşük olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak gruplar arası öz yeterlik düzeylerinde farklılık olmadığı görülmüştür. Araştırmanın güçlü yönleri, sınırlılıkları ve katkıları ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır
