The research was conducted with students at an Anatolian high school and a general high school in Nigde’s city center during the 2011-2012 academic year, with permission from each school. Students can only enter the Anatolian high school if they receive high grades in an entrance examination set by the Ministry of Education in Turkey. The general high school has no entry requirements relating to academic standard. Participants were 310 adolescents (123 male, 39.7% and 187 female, 60.3%) who valuntarily completed surveys. Participants were determined randomly. Each participants completed information on their sociodemografic characteristics and questionnaires on the experiences of cyber bullying and state-traite. Arıcak, Kınay and Tanrıkulu (2011) Cyber Bullying Questionnaire was used, which comprises 24 items with likert response scales. Özer’s (1994) Turkish adaptation of Spilberger’s (1983) State- Trate Anger Scale was used also, comprising 34 items with a Likert response scale. The data was analysed SPSS 13.0. Due to non-normality in the data, robust statistics were including the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H statistic. These showed that there was significant difference between school type and cyber bullying variables. Adolescents attending an Anatolian high school showed higher levels of cyber bully behaviour than general high school adolescents. Similarly, adolescents from the Anatolian high school showed higher levels on the two anger sub-dimensions of inner anger and outside anger than the general school adolescents. There were no significance differences for cyber bullying or sub-dimensions of anger by gender or age variables. },author={Aydın ÇİVİLİDAĞ-- Helena Thomas COOPER},year={2013},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
