Özet:

 The aim of this study is to adapt the Online Sexual Harassment Scale OSHS into Turkish and examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish form. The study also aims to examine whether university students exposure to online sexual harassment differs in terms of gender. Data obtained from 340 university students 221 women, 119 men. In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, Confirmatory Factor Analysis CFA was conducted. CFA results confirmed the two-factor structure gender harassment and unwanted sexual attention of the Turkish form like original scale. Fit indices obtained from CFA χ2df 3.77; GFI .91; SRMR .045; CFI .95; NFI .93; IFI .95; TLI .94, pointed out that two-factor structure of Turkish form has an acceptable fit. Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficients for unwanted sexual attention and gender harassment dimensions, and the whole scale were found to be .93, .83, and .94, respectively. When all these findings are evaluated as a whole, the Turkish form of the OSHS is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to evaluate the level of exposure to online sexual harassment. Additionally, it is found that women OSHS scores were significantly higher than men in both sub-dimensions and the whole scale, in other words women were subjected to online sexual harassment gender harassment and unwanted sexual attention significantly more than men.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Çevrimiçi Cinsel Taciz Ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlamasını gerçekleştirmek, bu kapsamda gecerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmalarını yapmaktadır. Çalışmanın bir diğer amacı ise üniversite öğrencilerinin çevrimiçi cinsel tacize maruz kalmalarının cinsiyete göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 340 üniversite öğrencisi 221 kadın, 119 erkek katılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini incelemek amacıyla 340 katılımcıdan elde edilen veri seti ile Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi DFA yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin orijinalinde olduğu gibi 12 maddeden oluşan 2 faktörlü cinsel ilgi ve cinsiyet temelli taciz yapısı doğrulanmıştır. DFA sonucunda ulaşılan uyum iyiliği değerlerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür χ2df 3.77; GFI .91; SRMR .045; CFI .95; NFI .93; IFI .95; TLI .94. Cinsel ilgi ve cinsiyet temelli taciz boyutlarına ve ölçeğin bütününe ilişkin Cronbach alfa değerleri sırasıyla .93, .83, .94 olarak bulunmuştur. Çevrimiçi Cinsel Taciz Ölçeği ÇCTÖnin Türkçe formunun çevrimiçi cinsel taciz deneyimini ölçmek amacıyla kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir. Bununla birlikte araştırmada kadın katılımcıların çevrimiçi cinsel taciz puan ortalamalarının hem alt boyutlarda hem de ölçeğin bütününde erkeklere göre anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğu, istenmeyen cinsel ilgiye ve cinsiyet temelli tacize daha yoğun şekilde maruz kaldıkları belirlenmiştir.
