Abstract

Problem

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between peer bullying, loneliness and perceived social support in refugee adolescents.

Methods

This research was conducted with 514 refugee adolescents living in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. In this descriptive correlational study, data were collected using the Peer Bullying Scale Adolescent Form, the Loneliness Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.

Findings

The mean score of the refugee adolescents on the victim subscale of the Peer Bullying Scale was 86.71 ± 27.51, and on the bully subscale was 68.08 ± 16.41. The mean score of the adolescents on the Loneliness Scale was 49.63 ± 9.50, on the Perceived Social Support was 52.19 ± 1.66. A positive moderate relationship was observed between the bully subscale and the victim subscale of the Peer Bullying Scale (p < 0.05). No relationship was found between the bully and victim subscales of the Peer Bullying Scale and the scores for the Loneliness Scale and the Perceived Social Support (p > 0.05). The male refugee youth were found to have higher mean victim and bully scores than the female refugee youth.

Conclusion

In light of these results, the reasons for the peer bullying of refugee adolescents should be investigated and solutions should be developed based on the reasons. It is recommended to conduct quantitative and qualitative research aimed at revealing the reasons why refugee adolescents may engage in bullying and be exposed to bullying in the future.

难民青少年同伴欺凌、孤独和社会支持之间的关系

本研究旨在探讨难民青少年同伴欺凌、孤独感和感知社会支持的关系。方法对居住在土耳其安纳托利亚中部地区的514名青少年难民进行调查。在本描述性相关研究中，使用同伴欺凌量表、青少年表格、孤独量表和感知社会支持多维量表收集数据。结果难民青少年在同伴欺凌量表受害者分量表的平均得分为86.71±27.51分，在欺凌分量表的平均得分为68.08±16.41分。孤独感量表平均得分为49.63±9.50分，感知社会支持量表平均得分为52.19±1.66分。同伴欺凌量表欺凌子量表与受害者子量表之间存在正相关(p < 0.05)。同伴欺凌量表的欺凌者和受害者分量表与孤独量表和感知社会支持得分之间没有关系(p > 0.05)。男性难民青年的平均受害者和欺凌得分高于女性难民青年。结论根据这些结果，应该调查难民青少年同伴欺凌的原因，并根据原因制定解决方案。建议开展定量和定性研究，旨在揭示难民青少年未来可能从事欺凌和遭受欺凌的原因。
