The aim of the present study is to validate the Turkish version of the CAS. The study was carried out in two stages. In the first phase, the validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted with 95 people. The single-factor structure of the scale was confirmed with exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis results. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.86. In the second stage; the data were collected using the Turkish version of CASand Herth Hope scale.

METHODS This study is descriptive, conducted with undergraduate students (n = 400) in a university in eastern Turkey. The data were collected by using Descriptive Questionnaire, Young Internet Addiction Test-Short-Form (YIAT-SF), Eating Attitude Test 26 (EAT-26), and Body Cathexis Scale (BCS). In addition, students' height and weight measurements were collected. FINDINGS It was determined that there was positively at a very weak level a significant correlation between YIAT-SF total score and EAT-26 total score. There was a negative, weak significant correlation between the total score of YIAT-SF and the BCS total score (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In students, internet addiction is related to eating behavior disorder and reduces satisfaction with body image. For this reason, education programs should be organized by health professionals to prevent internet addiction and psychological and physiological problems related to excessive internet use.

    Ebeveyn tutumu çocuğun gelişiminde son derece önemlidir. Kişilik gelişiminin başladığı ergenlik sürecinde çocuklar ebeveynlerini rol model alarak kendi kişiliğini şekillendirmeye başlar ve bu doğrultuda ilişkilerini yönetir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ailenin çocuk yetiştirmedeki tutumu ile akran zorbalığı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Bu çalışma, Erzincan ilinde bulunan üç ayrı Ortaokul öğrencileri ve onların ebeveynleri ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler soru formu, Akran Zorbalığı Kurbanlarını Belirleme ölçeği ile Aile Yaşamı ve Çocuk Yetiştirme Tutum ölçeği aracı ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; yüzdelik dağılımlar, ortalamalar, Post Hoc Bonferroni, Sidak testi, tek yönlü ANOVA ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin %8'inin kurban, %7'sinin zorba, %8'inin de hem zorba hem kurban olduğu ve %77'sinin ise zorbalık olayına karışmadığı görülmüştür. Ailesi aşırı koruyucu olan ve ailesinde geçimsizlik olan öğrencilerin zorbalık döngüsünde kurban olarak yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Sıkı disiplin alt boyut puan ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak gruplar arasında değişim göstermemesine rağmen hem zorba hem kurban olan öğrencilerin daha fazla sıkı disipline maruz kaldığı saptanmıştır. Çocuk yetiştirme tutum ölçeği ile akran zorbalığını belirleme ölçeği arasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde; koruyuculuk alt boyut puanı arttıkça zorbalık yapan öğrencilerin toplam puanda düşüş gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Geçimsizlik alt boyut puanı arttıkça da zorbalığa maruz kalan öğrencilerin toplam puan da artış olduğu saptanmıştır. Çocuk yetiştirme tutumundaki bazı parametrelerin zorbalık döngüsündeki rolleri etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler : çocuk yetiştirme tutumu, akran zorbalığı, ergenler.
