Background: Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the closure of universities and the transition to distance education in our country as well as all over the world have made university students one of the groups most affected by this process. Aim: The aim of this research is to examine the aggression levels of university students who had to take online learning due to the Covid-19 epidemic in terms of some variables. Methods: The sample of the study consists of a total of 204 students, 130 (63.7%) male and 74 (36.3%) female, who had taken online learning during the Covid-19 epidemic period. In order to collect the data, the personal information form prepared by the researcher and the "Aggression Scale", which is the Turkish version of the scale developed by Buss and Perry in 1992 and updated by Buss and Warren in 2000, are used. In the analysis of the data, frequency and percentage values are taken to examine the personal information distribution of the participants, Skewness-Kurtosis values are examined to determine whether the data showed a normal distribution and it is determined that it shows a normal distribution. Independent Sample T test and One Way ANOVA tests are used to determine the differences between the variables. The significance level is taken as 0.05. Correlation analysis is performed to determine the direction and amount (strength) of the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the scale. Results: According to the findings, it is shown in this research that the university students had normal level of aggression tendency. When the mean scores of the physical aggression, verbal, hostility, anger, and indirect aggression sub-dimensions of the aggression scale are examined, it can be said that the mean scores of the anger sub-dimension are higher than the mean scores of the other sub-dimensions. According to the gender variable; A significant difference was found in favor of males in total aggression scores, physical-verbal aggression and anger sub-dimensions. According to the variable of the field of learning; There were significant differences in total aggression scores, physical-verbal aggression and hostility sub-dimensions. Between the aggression scale sub-dimensions, a moderate and high level of significant correlation was found at the level of 0.01. Conclusion: It has been concluded that the Covid-19 process has no effect on the aggression level of university students. It was observed that as the level of anger and physical aggression of the students who spent the quarantine period at home and received online learning increased with respect to the level of general aggression is also increased. It can be said that during the quarantine period, the fact that students take time for themselves while they are at home and stay away from environmental conditions that will increase their aggression levels causes these results.

Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed our daily life. Owing to the imposed restrictions, many educational facilities have introduced remote teaching. This study aims to understand the impact of remote teaching on Japanese university students' sleeping habits.Methods: The participants were medical university students. We used data from an ongoing longitudinal sleeping habits survey. For 684 participants who enrolled in the university during 2018–2020, multilevel analyses of sleep duration during weekdays and weekends across 3 years were conducted, adjusting for gender, grade, place of stay, sleep problems and lifestyle habits. Results: Among the participants, 356 male (mean ± standard deviation: 22 ± 3, 18–37 years old) and 288 female (22 ± 3, 18–32 years old) students in 2018, 365 male (24 ± 3,18–36 years old) and 284 female (22 ± 2, 18–33 years old) students in 2019, and 226 male (20 ± 3,18-36 years old) and 167 female (21 ± 2, 18–34 years old) students in 2020 answered the questionnaire. The mean sleep duration during weekdays (in minutes) was 407.6 ± 60.3 in 2018, 406.9 ± 63.0 in 2019, and 417.3 ± 80.9 in 2020. The mean sleep duration during weekends (in minutes) was 494.5 ± 82.5 in 2018, 488.3 ± 87.9 in 2019, and 462.3 ± 96.4 in 2020. The analysis showed that sleep duration during weekdays was associated with the place of stay and survey year. Moreover, students reported significantly longer sleep duration during weekdays in 2020 than 2019, but no significant difference in sleep duration between 2018 and 2019. Sleep duration during weekends was found to be associated with the survey year, gender and always doing something before going to bed. Sleep duration during weekends was shorter in 2020 than 2019 and longer in male students and students who always do something before going to bed. Ten students were reported to have a delayed sleep phase in 2020. Conclusions: Students' sleep duration increased during weekdays and decreased during weekends in 2020. This difference could be explained by the COVID-19 pandemic and the introduction of remote teaching.

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.
