Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: Verbal violence as one element of school violence is an area of research that is often overlooked. The purpose of this study was to explore cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of verbal violence experienced by university students during everyday campus life.
Methods: Twenty-one students aged 20 to 27 years were enrolled and face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted. Data were audio-taped, transcribed, and then analyzed using the method of thematic analysis.
Results: The following seven themes appeared. "Coarse words everywhere," "needing a change," and "finding myself also being verbally aggressive" were cognitive aspects of the experience. "Remaining hurt" and "gradually increasing feelings of unpleasantness" were emotional facets. Lastly, "controlling myself with patience" and "avoiding uncomfortable situations" were behavioral strategies of participants.
Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest that relevant intervention programs need to be made to help student-victims mitigate their unpleasant feelings resulting from experiences of verbal violence.
