Abstract
Conclusion:
The scale was found to have a similar structure also in adolescents compared to university students. It was concluded that relational aggression scale can be used with adolescents.

As a result of explanatory factor analysis, a-16-item scale under three dimensions was obtained. Validity and reliability studies indicated that the scale was valid and reliable.
Materials and Methods:
Participants were 856 high school students. For validity exploratory factor analysis and concurrent validity techniques, for reliability Cronbach alpha coefficient and test-retest analysis techniques were utilized.
Objectives:
