Abstract

This study has been conducted to compare attitudes towards violence among adolescents who are victims or non-victims of violence. In addition, this current study examines how attitudes towards violence vary according to gender, perpetrator group of violence, type of violence and immigration case. For data collection, Personal Information Form and Attitude towards Violence Scale were used. The research sample composed of 680 middle school students at 8th grade level. In the analysis phase of the study; Mann-Whitney U. and Kruskal Wallis H. tests were utilized. According to the results, attitudes toward violence vary depending on exposure to violence, gender, perpetrator group of violence and immigration case. However, victims’ attitudes towards violence do not vary depending on type of violence. It can be said that the students who are exposed to violence at school or in their family normalize the violence and see the violence as a problem-solving way in daily life.
