摘要：The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable tool to measure high school students' coping behaviors which they exhibit when they are subjected to cyber bullying. The sample of the study was composed of 318 students studying at high schools in the province of Erzurum in the 2014-2015 educational years. The validity of the scale was analyzed via the construct validity and the criterion-related validity. For the construct validity, the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were made. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was observed that the scale on coping with cyber bullying was composed of 17 items and 4 factors accounting for 61.36% of the total variance. Moreover, the construct validity of the scale on coping with cyber bullying was tested by the confirmatory factor analysis as well. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, the models of the scale were determined to be appropriate theoretically and statistically. In the criterion-related validity study, it was observed that there was a positive relationship between the scale on strategies to cope with bullying (SSCB) and the scale on coping with cyber bullying (SCCB). The reliability of the scales was calculated via the methods of internal consistency, split-half reliability and test-retest. Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients for the sub-dimensions of the instrument ranged from .70 to .86. Split-half correlation coefficient for the sub-dimensions of the instrument ranged between .66 and .86. Moreover, the test-retest reliability for the SCCB varied between .68 and .83 These obtained values indicated the fact that the SCCB was a valid and reliable measurement tool.
