Educational Research and Reviews, v8 n13 p938-942 Jul 2013
The aim of this study is to examine the relation between the values adolescents have and virtual sensitiveness. The study is carried out on 447 adolescents, 160 of whom are female, 287 males. The Humanistic Values Scale and Virtual Sensitiveness scale were used. Pearson Product Moment Coefficient and multiple regression analysis techniques were used as statistical analyses. As a result of the study, it was found that responsibility, friendliness, being peaceable and having tolerance were significant predictors for explaining virtual sensitiveness; however, it was found that respect and honesty values were not significant predictors of virtual sensitiveness. On the other hand, it was revealed that there was positive significant relation between responsibility, friendliness, being peaceable and respect which are the sub dimensions of virtual sensitiveness and humanistic values. However, it was found that there was not a significant relation between honesty and tolerance sub dimensions and virtual sensitiveness. (Contains 2 tables.)
