Forgiveness and Cyberbullying in Turkish Adolescents
Buyukbayraktar, Cagla Girgin
Educational Research and Reviews, v14 n14 p512-517 Aug 2019
The quickest and easiest way to maintain the relationships is through the use of technology; however, this puts adolescents at risk of experiencing cyberbullying. The aim of this study was to investigate whether forgiveness is related to cyberbullying in high school students. This study included 348 adolescents in Turkey. The results of this study indicated a negative directional relationship between forgiveness and cyberbullying. This study focused on the protective role of forgiveness in preventing aggressive behavior. The findings suggest that forgiveness may be an effective coping mechanism that helps adolescents redirect negative emotions caused by cyberbullying using other positive emotions.
