Objectives: In this study, we sought to determine the prevalence of problematic Internet use (PIU) among high school students and identify demographic and socioeconomic factors related to PIU. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, we conducted this study between November 2017 and January 2018 of 1412 students attending high schools in the Silivri District of Istanbul in Turkey. We administered a questionnaire inquiring about sociodemographic information, Internet use, and Young's Internet Addiction Test to participating students. Results: Among participants, 18.5% (male = 17.2%; females = 19.8%) were found to show PIU. PIU rates were higher among those with a high household income and lower among those who studied in science high schools, performed physical activities at least 2 days a week, and read at least one book a month. PIU rates were also higher among those who had their own bedrooms, phones, smartphones, Internet connections at home, and social networking accounts. Conclusion: The prevalence of PIU among the participants was 18.5%. Female sex, high household income, low physical activity, grade level, school type, reading fewer than one book per month, and Internet use experience were risk factors for PIU. PIU is considered a significant public health concern across the world, including in Turkey.

Öğrencilerin akademik erteleme davranışlarını belirlemek için Çakıcı (2003) tarafından geliştirilen “Akademik Erteleme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin demografik bilgilerini ve sosyal medya kullanım durumlarını saptamak için ise araştırmacılar tarafından düzenlenen 12 sorudan oluşan bir anket kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada genel olarak lise öğrencilerinin akademik erteleme davranışı seviyelerinin orta seviyenin üzerinde olduğu ve sosyal medyayı yoğun olarak kullandığı verilerine ulaşılmıştır. Cinsiyet açısından yapılan karşılaştırmalarda erkek öğrencilerin, okul türü açısından yapılan karşılaştırmalarda ise Anadolu Lisesi’nde okuyan öğrencilerin daha fazla akademik erteleme davranışı gösterdiği bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca lise öğrencilerinin akademik erteleme davranışları ve sosyal medya kullanımlarının sınıf seviyesi, sosyal medya kullanım yılı, kullanım sıklığı, günlük ortalama kullanım süresi gibi değişkenler açısından farklılaştığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar genel olarak, sosyal medyayı daha uzun süredir ve daha sık kullanan öğrencilerin akademik erteleme davranışlarının daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir.

Representative Samples

According to the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE), attending academically selective high schools negatively affects academic self-concept. Does the BFLPE persist after graduation from high school? In two large, representative samples of German high school students (Study 1: 2,306 students, 147 schools; Study 2: 1,758 students, 94 schools), the predictive effects of individual achievement test scores and school grades on math self-concept are very positive, whereas the predictive effects of school-average achievement are negative (the BFLPE). Both studies showed that the BFLPE was substantial at the end of high school and was still substantial 2 years (Study 1) or 4 years (Study 2) later. In addition, because of the highly salient system of school tracks within the German education system, the authors are able to show that negative effects associated with school type (highly academically selective schools, the Gymnasium) were similar—but smaller—than the BFLPE based on school-average achievement.

The objective has been set through this study to present and compare the aggression levels in three different High School types. The population of the study was constituted by the High School students in the province of Konya and its sampling group by the 226 male and 190 female students studying at Vocational High Schools, Anatolian High Schools, and Sports High Schools. In the study, demographic personal information form was used in the collection of personal information and Buss-Perry Aggression Scale (BPAS), which was developed by Buss and Perry (1992), whose the validity and reliability study in its Turkish form was performed by Demirtas-Mardan (2013), was used for determining the aggression levels. In terms of the anger dimension depending on the gender factor, no statistical change was observed, while it was determined that the average values for the male students in the physical aggression, hostility, and verbal aggression dimensions were higher than the female students and such changes were statistically significant (P<0.05). It can be said on the basis of the findings of this study that the aggression values of the Secondary Education students did not vary in line with the sportive activities and that the male students have more sense of aggression than female students.
