Abstract

Abstract Based on labelling theory, the Preschool Peer Bullying Scale-Teacher Form (PPBS-Teacher Form) was developed, and its validity and reliability were tested in this current study. There were 279 Turkish preschool teachers (96% females) in the preliminary study sample. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted with the data from the preliminary study sample, revealing 14 items with two factors, named as physical-relational bullying and verbal bullying. There were 247 Turkish preschool teachers (97% females) in the cross-validation study sample. Confirmatory factor analyses were carried out with the data from the cross-validation study sample, revealing adequate fit to the data. The internal consistency coefficients were high for the two study samples. Hence, the PPBS-Teacher Form is a valid and reliable measurement instrument to assess preschool peer bullying without labelling students as bullies or victims. The PPBS-Teacher Form aims to contribute to the extant research on early childhood bullying by attracting attention to the risks of labelling preschool students as bullies or victims. Practical implications are discussed for school counsellors and psychologists, parents and researchers.

幼儿同伴欺凌量表-教师表格的开发与验证

摘要本研究基于标签理论，编制了《学前同伴欺凌量表-教师表》，并对其进行了效度和信度检验。初步研究样本中有279名土耳其幼儿教师(96%为女性)。对初步研究样本的数据进行探索性因素分析，发现14个项目包含两个因素，分别为身体关系欺凌和言语欺凌。交叉验证研究样本中有247名土耳其幼儿教师(97%为女性)。对交叉验证研究样本的数据进行验证性因素分析，显示数据的拟合性。两个研究样本的内部一致性系数都很高。因此，ppbs -教师表格是一种有效可靠的评估学前同伴欺凌行为的测量工具，不需要将学生标记为欺凌者或受害者。PPBS-Teacher Form旨在通过引起人们对学前学生被贴上欺凌者或受害者标签的风险的关注，为现有的儿童早期欺凌研究做出贡献。对学校辅导员和心理学家、家长和研究人员的实际影响进行了讨论。
