ABSTRACT
 Objective: Individual differences increase the probability of being bullied, and there are some adverse consequences of victimization. Children who stutter have been reported to be more likely than their peers to be bullied, but there is a scarcity of data on the rates of bullying victimization among individuals who stutter compared to their peers in Türkiye. Therefore, this study investigated school-age peer victimization rates and experiences of adults who do (AWS) and do not (AWNS) stutter in Türkiye. Material and Methods: This was a case-control self-reported retrospective survey study. One hundred AWS and 100 AWNS (age range: 18-48) participated. The school-age peer victimization experiences of AWS and AWNS were compared using closed-ended survey items. Results: Sixty-four percent of AWS and 41% of AWNS reported being bullying victims during school, which indicates a considerably higher risk of being bullied (p=0.001). The comparisons between AWS and AWNS showed that AWS had significantly more difficulty in maintaining friendships (p=0.03), but the comparisons between AWS and AWNS who experienced bullying showed that there were no differences between groups in maintaining friendships. Both groups reported that bullying mostly had adverse emotional (AWS: 71.9% and AWNS: 73.2%) and social (AWS: 60.9% and AWNS: 63.4%) effects. Conclusion: Being a bullying victim had adverse emotional and social consequences. Strong peer ties are essential in minimizing victimization; thus, further research into predictive role of friendship relations between stuttering and bullying is suggested.

Keywords: Stuttering; bullying; victimization
ÖZET
 Amaç: Bireysel farklılıklar zorbalığa uğrama olasılığını artırır ve zorbalık mağduriyetinin olumsuz sonuçları olabilir. Kekemeliği olan çocukların akranlarına göre daha fazla zorbalığa uğradıkları bildirilmiştir, ancak Türkiye'de kekemeliği olan ve olmayan çocukların zorbalığa uğrama oranlarına ilişkin veri sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmayla Türkiye'de kekemeliği olan ve olmayan erişkinlerin okul çağındaki akran zorbalığı mağduriyeti oranları ve deneyimleri araştırılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu bir vaka-kontrol, geriye dönük öz bildirim anket çalışmasıdır. Yüz kekemeliği olan ve 100 kekemeliği olmayan erişkin (yaş aralığı: 18-48) katılmıştır. Kekemeliği olan ve olmayan erişkinlerin okul çağındaki akran zorbalığı mağduriyeti deneyimleri, kapalı uçlu anket maddeleri kullanılarak elde edilmiş ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Kekemeliği olan erişkinlerin %64'ü, kekemeliği olmayanların %41'i okul çağında zorbalığa uğradıklarını bildirmiştir, bu da kekemeliği olanların olmayanlara oranla zorbalığa uğrama riskinin anlamlı biçimde yüksek olduğunu ifade etmiştir (p=0,001). Kekemeliği olan ve olmayanlar arasında yapılan karşılaştırmalar, kekemeliği olan erişkinlerin, arkadaşlıkları sürdürmekte önemli ölçüde daha fazla zorluk yaşadıklarını göstermiştir (p=0,03), ancak zorbalık mağduru olan kekemeliği olan ve olmayan erişkinler arasında yapılan karşılaştırmalar, arkadaşlıkları sürdürmede gruplar arasında fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Her iki grup da zorbalığın çoğunlukla olumsuz duygusal (AWS: %71,9 ve AWNS: %73,2) ve sosyal (AWS: %60,9 ve AWNS: %63,4) olumsuz etkileri olduğunu bildirmiştir. Sonuç: Zorbalık mağduriyetinin olumsuz duygusal ve sosyal sonuçları olduğu gözlenmiştir. Mağduriyeti en aza indirmek için güçlü akran bağlarının önemli olduğu, bu nedenle arkadaşlık ilişkilerinin kekemelik ve zorbalık arasındaki yordayıcı rolünün araştırılması önerilmektedir.
