Abstract
The present study aimed to adapt Peer Aggression Coping Self-Efficacy Scale to Turkish version. Data were gathered from 639 students in grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. As a result of explanatory analysis carried out to test the construct validity of PA-CSES, a four factor construct was also confirmed by the Turkish students. Apart from this, as a result of analysis, girls level of self-efficacy for avoiding aggressive behavior, self efficacy for proactive behavior and self-efficacy for avoiding self-blame were much higher than those of boys. In addition, the students’ in grade 6, level of self-efficacy for avoiding aggressive behavior, self efficacy for proactive behavior, self-efficacy for victim- role disengagements were also much higher than those of the students in grade 9. The findings were discussed in terms of literature and some suggestions were proposed for further studies.
