Özet

This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the California Bullying Victimization Scale (CBVS) (Felix et al., 2011) in a sample of Turkish middle school students. A total of 313 students (47.9% male, 52.1% female) participated in this study. For the reliability the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and test-retest reliability coefficient; for the validity concurrent and predictive validity were calculated. Results indicated the internal consistency of .72 and .83 for victimization items; two-week test-retest reliability of .82. The total scores of CBVS were also positively correlated with a bullying measure and negatively correlated with life satisfaction and hope. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
