DIGITAL VIOLENCE AND RESPONSE BEHAVIORS OF INDIVIDUALS AGAINST DIGITAL VIOLENCE DURING THE COVID-19 CLOSURE PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: In the last thirty years, the use of digital technology has shown a high increase. The use of digital devices has become an inevitable part of life. When individuals step into the digital environment, they have become open to various digital threats. This study deals with digital violence and reaction behaviors that develop in individuals who are exposed to digital violence. Although individuals show very different behavior patterns against digital violence, the feeling of victimization, counter-attack and anger, and self-attack and anger of individuals were evaluated in this study. For this purpose, 405 online surveys were conducted throughout Turkey. Cross-sectional data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. As a result of the empirical analysis, a very high positive correlation (β = 0.69; t = 7.87) was found between the digital violence (TEC_V) independent variable and the “Fear of Victimization (CR)” internal independent variable. Again, it showed that there is a very high positive correlation (β = 0.75; t =11.61) between the extrinsic independent variable of Digital Violence (TEC_V) and the intrinsic independent variable of "Counter Attack and Anger (FV)". Finally, a high level of positive correlation (β = 0.52; t = 5.90) was observed between the “Digital Violence (TEC_V)” exogenous independent variable and the “Self Attack and Anger (SA)” internal independent variable.
