Examining the relationship between digital media literacy and sensitivity to cyberbullying of university students

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between university students' digital media literacy and their sensitivity to cyberbullying. The scales were distributed to the students in printed form. The sample of the study consists of a group of 200 undergraduate students in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. Digital Media Literacy Scale (Bayrakcı & Narmanlıoğlu, 2021) was used to determine the digital media literacy levels of the students. Sensitivity Scale Regarding Cyberbullying (Tanrıkulu, 2015) was used to determine the cyberbullying levels of the students. The data were analyzed with descriptive and relational statistics. When the research results were examined, a weak positive correlation was found between university students' digital media literacy and their sensitivity to cyberbullying. In addition, students' cyberbullying and digital media literacy were examined in terms of demographic variables.
