Violence is a phenomenon that negatively affects the lives of societies. The subject of most studies conducted in Turkey and in the world is the existence and negativity of violence. It is important to investigate the causes of an issue that is so uncomfortable for societies and to eliminate the phenomenon of violence. Although there are many definitions of violence, there are many reasons for its emergence. The difficulties of the lives people live, psychological reasons, being directed by the environment, etc. Violence is seen in our school environments as well as in every area we live in. Violence seen at all levels of education has increased in recent years. This situation has become quite disturbing. Violence and perceptions of violence also vary. Violence tendencies also differ according to violence perception levels. The presence of physical violence is mostly mentioned as the perception of violence. There is no mention of the existence of emotional and economic violence.
With this study, which deals with the phenomenon of violence, it is aimed to investigate the phenomenon of violence among secondary school students studying in Çumra district of Konya province and to measure the violence tendency levels. Violence Tendency Scale was applied to 375 students among 4160 students studying in the 2021-2022 academic year. As a result of the research, it was determined that there is a significant relationship between the students' violence tendencies in terms of gender, class levels and having close friends of the opposite sex. At the same time, it has been observed that there is no relationship between violence tendencies and whether parents live together or separately.
