Lifestyle, Self-Control, and School-Based Violent Victimization in Turkey

• In Event: Youth Bullying and Victimization

Abstract

The present study draws upon extant research in the L-RAT and self-control traditions in order to explore the predictors of the school-based violent victimization in a sample of students from Turkish high schools. Hence, the aim is to provide one of the only tests of theoretical explanations for school-based victimization in Turkey. In addition to examining the main effects of variables representing the L-RAT and self-control theoretical traditions, the extent to which opportunity-related variables mediate the effects of self-control, and interactions between self-control and opportunity will also be explored.
