MULTIDIMENSIONAL TEACHER VICTIMIZATION SCALE (MTVS)

The Multidimensional Teacher Victimization Scale (MTVS) is a 24-item self-report rating scale for measuring teachers’ perceptions of how often they have been victims of violent behavior perpetrated by students. It consists six subscales, which reflects six forms of teacher victimization (TV): (1) physical TV, (2) social TV, (3) verbal TV, (4) cyber TV, (5) sexual harassment, and (6) personal property offenses. Individual subscales can be used as an individual score or be added into one composite score to represent overall teacher victimization. This measure is available in both English and Chinese versions.
