At the age of a new kind of everything (a new kind of communication, a new kind of education, a new kind of social problems etc.) citizenship also takes a new kind form: global citizenship. Global concept has been conducted on almost every area including citizenship. Therefore, citizenship has been understood from a global perspective to overcome new global scale problems. EU is a good example of changing citizenship understanding differing from the national base. Poland is a good target country taken its membership since 2004. 12 years duration means that new generation has been raised in the atmosphere of a supra national environment. At this point, what kinds of variables have what kinds of impact on the global citizenship level of this generation is worth being studied. This study has aimed to understand this question using a personal information form in addition to a “global citizenship” scale developed by Morais - Ogden (2010). The study conducted through survey model included 353 Polish university students. It is understood from the results of the study that Polish students have an intermediate level of global citizenship and low level of global civic engagement. It is also one of the findings that some variables have impact on global citizenship levels. In this respect, the study will contribute to the understanding of the global citizenship levels of EU member students.

Major purpose of the current study was to examine the prevalence of global citizenship skills among university students in Pakistan and its relationship with their identity orientations. Three indicators of global citizenship including social responsibility, global competence and global civic engagement were accepted to execute the research objective. The study followed four aspects of identity orientations including personal, social, collective and relational orientations. 324 students enrolled in selected Pakistani public sector universities participated in the study. Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-IV) developed by Cheek and Briggs (2013) and global citizenship scale developed by Morais and Ogden (2011) were adapted as research instruments to collected the required data. Results show the prevalence of global civic engagement and social responsibility is comparatively lesser among the participants than other global citizenship skills. The students supported all four types of identity orientations. The study concludes that the four identity orientations have significant and direct associations with major global citizenship skills.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not traumatic childhood experiences in childhood predict a disposition to risk-taking and aggression among university students. The participants consisted of 851 students: 477 (56.1%) females and 374 (43.9%) males attending various faculties at the Karadeniz Technical University in Turkey. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Adolescent Risk-Taking Scale, Aggression Questionnaire, and Personal Information Form were used for data collection. The analysis results revealed a positive correlation between traumatic experiences (physical, sexual, emotional maltreatment, and emotional neglect) and risk-taking and aggression. Physical and sexual abuse and gender are significant predictors of risk-taking. Physical abuse and gender are some of the predictors of aggression. Another finding from the study is that physical and emotional abuse and emotional neglect vary by gender. This study concludes that exposure to traumatic experiences in childhood prepares the foundation for negative behaviors in adulthood.

Attitudes Towards Marriage

The aim of this study is to investigate students in classes 1-2-3-4, studying Pyschological Guidance and Counselling (PGC) at a university in T.R.N.C. (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) in their relationships with their parents and their attitudes towards marriage. The study includes 325 students and was conducted during the spring of 2015-2016. ‘Personal information forms’, ‘İnönü Marriage Attitudes Scale, ‘Attitudes towards Parents Scale I and II’ have been used in order to collect research data. The viewpoints of the student PCG group, who work with child and family, have been particularly focused in connection to all of these. The findings revealed that female students’ attitudes towards their mothers are better compared to that of male students. However, in terms of gender, no connection was found between attitude towards their father and their attitude towards marriage. As female PCG students’ attitude towards their mother increases, so too has their attitude towards their father and their attitudes towards marriage. For the men whose parents are still together (not separated), there is no link between their strong attiudes towards their parents and their attitude towards marriage. It has come to light that female students, whose parents are separated, have a stronger attitude towards their mother and father. No connection was found between the students’ parents being married or having separate living arrangements and the students’ gender. Male students with parents who live separately have a stronger approach towards their their mother and father.

The article defines the essence of the concept of “civic engagement of university students” and the process of formation of civic engagement of university students in quarantine conditions. The structure of civic engagement of university students is characterized. Criteria are substantiated and indicators of the formation of civic engagement of university students are defined: incentive criterion (sustainable social motives for achieving socially significant goals, the student’s achievement motive, value attitude to future professional activities); epistemological criterion (knowledge about public organizations and their activities, awareness of knowledge of civic responsibility, the presence of civic consciousness) behavioral (leadership ability, responsibility for own decisions, actions and team actions) creatively developing criterion (the presence of self-knowledge skills, the ability to introspection , self-esteem, self-criticism of the results of one's own socially useful activity). The substantive characteristic of such levels of formation of civic engagement of university students as: insufficient, initial, sufficient, high is given. The use of such digital tools is shown, which allows to form effectively the civic engagement of university students in quarantine conditions: a) the creation of an author's blog (to display information about: the national identity of the Ukrainian people (history, traditions, language, culture, etc.), planned for the future and already organized events by the student self-government were held, video and photo reports of the events) b) use of Google applications (Google meet - for conferences, meetings, online consultations; Google Drive, Google forms - for online questionnaires with the aim of : predicting the relevance of the event, it is planned, determining the effectiveness of the activities, identifying the psychological atmosphere in the team, identifying the socio-psychological characteristics of students, student awareness; Google photos; Google calendar; Google video). The results of an experimental study on the formation of civic engagement of university students, carried out during 2019 at V.O. Sukhomlynskyi Mykolaiv National University, are presented, which proves the practical importance of using such digital tools in quarantine conditions.

<span>This study investigated the extent of cyberbullying and victimisation among Turkish university students at a state college of education. A personal information form and 56 scaled items were administered to 254 students. Items addressing cyberbullying victimisation were adopted from a recent study, whereas parallel cyberbullying items were developed and piloted in the current study. High internal consistency coefficients and explained variance values were observed in both 'cyberbullying' and 'victimisation' forms of the instrument. Findings revealed a moderate relationship between cyberbullying and victimisation. That is, being a victim in the cyberspace predicted 23 percent of being a cyberbully. Males were more likely to be both cybervictims and cyberbullies. Neither the cyberbullying nor the victimisation average differed with regard to age, program of study, daily Internet use, language proficiency, socioeconomic status, and the location where Internet was used. Reasons to cyberbully were investigated, which were mostly stemmed from interpersonal problems of participants. Limitations were discussed followed by suggestions for further research.</span>

Significant Difference

Human beings need to maintain their life as a social entity and as a result they communicate with other people in order to meet their physical, emotional and cognitive needs, to develop themselves, to develop from many angles and to maintain their lives. Because it is a necessity for a person who lives as a social being to be in contact with other members of society. The individual must have assertiveness behavioral characteristics in order to exist in the society. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the level of assertivenes of university students and demographic variables. The study was carried out with a total of 243 university students who were volunteers, 107 (44.03%) women and 136 (55.97%) men. The Voltan-Acar Self-Determination (assertiveness) Scale and the personal information form prepared by the researcher were used in the study. T-test for binary comparisons, one-way analysis of variance for multiple comparisons (Anova) was used. The obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS 22 packet program.According to the results of analysis, gender, violence exposure, health problem, substance use and income level variables did not make a meaningful difference in the level of assertivenes of the students, but parental attitudes, place of residence, self- appreciation, general perception, family structure, father education level and school success variables were found to have a significant difference in the students' assertivenes levels. Findings from the study are thought to help the field worker in identifying and interpreting the levels of assertivenes of the students, in developing and implementing intervention methods for students with low levels of assertivenes and thus in supporting the students' personality development and social skills in the desired direction.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özetİnsan bulunduğu toplumun sosyal bir unsurudur ve bunun sonucu olarak fiziksel, duygusal, bilişsel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak, kendini geliştirmek ve hayatına devam etmek için toplumdaki diğer bireylerle iletişim kurar. Çünkü insanın toplumdaki diğer fertlerle iletişim halinde olması bir zorunluluktur. Bireyin kendisinin ve diğerlerinin haklarını adil bir şekilde savunabilmesi olarak tanımlanan güvengenlik önemli bir özelliktir. Bu nedenle bireyin toplumda kendini var etmesi için güvengen davranış özelliklerine sahip olması gerekir. Bu araştırma, üniversite öğrencilerinin güvengenlik düzeylerini demografik değişkenlere göre ele alan bir çalışmadır. Çalışma gönüllü olan 107 (%44.03%) kadın, 136 (%55.97) erkek toplam 243 üniversite öğrencisi ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada Güvengenlik Ölçeği ve araştırmacının hazırlamış olduğu kişisel veriler formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ikili unsurları kıyaslamak için t-testi, üç ve daha fazlası değişkenleri kıyaslamak için tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 22 programında çözümlenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre cinsiyet, şiddete maruz kalma, sağlık sorunu, madde kullanımı ve gelir düzeyi değişkenlerinin öğrencilerin güvengenlik düzeylerinde anlamlı bir farklılık yaratmadığı fakat ebeveyn tutumları, yaşanılan yer, kendini beğeni, genel olumlu algı, aile yapısı, kardeş sayısı, annenin eğitim seviyesi, babanın eğitim seviyesi ve okul başarısı değişkenlerinin öğrencilerin güvengenlik düzeylerinde anlamlı bir fark oluşturduğu saptanmıştır. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen veriler, öğrencilerin güvengenliklerinin hangi değişkenlerle ilişkili olduğunun belirlenmesinde, güvengenlik düzeyi düşük olan öğrencilere yönelik müdahale tekniklerin belirlenmesinde, uygulamalı çalışmaların yapılmasında ve böylece bireylerin istendik davranışları kazanmalarının ve sosyal becerilerinin istenilen yönde desteklenmesinde alan çalışanlarına yardımcı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
