The present study aims to develop the Cyberbullying Awareness Scale (CAS) for adolescents, which assesses adolescents' awareness about cyberbullying, and to examine the psychometric properties of the scale by conducting validity and reliability studies. In this context, evidence on the validity and reliability of the scale was obtained in two separate studies. In Study 1 (N = 552), scale items were developed, content validity was examined, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to determine the factor structure of the scale. In addition, criterion-related validity and reliability analyses were performed. The mean age of the participants in Study 1 was 14.6. In Study 2 (N = 338), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed to confirm the factorial structure obtained as a result of EFA. The mean age of the participants in Study 2 was 14.8. As a result of the research, it was determined that the CAS for adolescents had a three-factor structure comprised of Cyberbullying Tendency, Coping with Cyberbullying and Protection from Cyberbullying. The internal consistency coefficients were calculated as 0.80 for the Cyberbullying Tendency sub-dimension, 0.76 for the Coping with Cyberbullying sub-dimension and 0.63 for the Protection from Cyberbullying sub-dimension. In line with the obtained results, it can be said that the CAS for adolescents is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining the awareness of adolescents in the 12–18 age group on cyberbullying.

青少年网络欺凌意识量表的制定：有效性和可靠性研究

本研究旨在开发青少年网络欺凌意识量表（CAS），评估青少年对网络欺凌的意识，并通过有效性和可靠性研究来检验该量表的心理测量特性。在这种情况下，两项独立的研究获得了该量表有效性和可靠性的证据。在研究1（N  = 552）中，制定了量表项目，检查了内容效度，并进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）以确定量表的因素结构。此外，还进行了与标准相关的有效性和可靠性分析。研究 1 参与者的平均年龄为 14.6 岁。在研究 2 ( N  = 338) 中，进行了验证性因子分析 (CFA)，以确认 EFA 结果所获得的因子结构。研究 2 参与者的平均年龄为 14.8 岁。研究结果确定，青少年的CAS具有三因素结构：网络欺凌倾向、应对网络欺凌和免受网络欺凌的保护。网络欺凌倾向子维度的内部一致性系数计算为 0.80，应对网络欺凌子维度的内部一致性系数为 0.76，防范网络欺凌子维度的内部一致性系数为 0.63。根据所获得的结果，可以说青少年CAS是确定12-18岁年龄段青少年对网络欺凌认知度的有效且可靠的测量工具。
