Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to examine bullying, achievement motivation, and resilience levels of both Syrian refugee students and Turkish students at an Islamic religion-based high school for boys. The sample included 289 students. One hundred and forty-three (49.50%) of the participants were Syrian and 146 (50.50%) were Turkish students. The mean age of the participants was 16 years (SD = 1.30). This study found that the level of bullying among refugee students was higher, and the level of achievement motivation was lower than for Turkish students. However, there was not a significant difference with regard to resilience scores. In terms of grade level, 9th-grade students reported lower scores of bullying than 10th- and 12th-grade students. The results indicated that bullying, resilience, and the demographic information of nationality (Syrian and Turkish) were significant predictors of achievement motivation. In addition, the relationship of resilience with achievement motivation was the same strength for both groups when separately analysed. These findings may help school counsellors, teachers and administrators to raise awareness in schools about issues such as forced migration and refugee psychology, trauma and its effects, bullying, low motivation, and problems faced by refugee students in general.

叙利亚难民学生和土耳其学生欺凌程度、成就动机和复原力的比较

摘要本研究旨在考察一所伊斯兰教男生高中叙利亚难民学生和土耳其学生的欺凌、成就动机和心理弹性水平。样本包括289名学生。143名(49.50%)参与者是叙利亚学生，146名(50.50%)是土耳其学生。参与者的平均年龄为16岁(SD = 1.30)。本研究发现，难民学生恃强凌弱的程度高于土耳其学生，而成就动机的水平则低于土耳其学生。然而，在弹性得分方面没有显著差异。就年级水平而言，9年级学生报告的欺凌得分低于10年级和12年级学生。结果表明，霸凌、韧性和国籍(叙利亚和土耳其)的人口统计信息是成就动机的显著预测因子。此外，在单独分析时，两组心理弹性与成就动机的关系是相同的。这些发现可能有助于学校辅导员、教师和管理人员提高学校对强迫移民和难民心理、创伤及其影响、欺凌、动机低下以及难民学生普遍面临的问题等问题的认识。
