Abstract

The current paper aims to identify victim sensitivity among male and female teachers, and to identify differences in victim sensitivity according to gender (males - females) and years of service (10 and below - 11 and above). To achieve the research objectives, procedures were necessary, including constructing a victim sensitivity scale based on the definition and theoretical model of Gollwitzer & Rothmund (2009), which in its initial form consisted of 25 items. A sample of 300 male and female teachers was selected in Baghdad Governorate. The results indicated that male and female teachers exhibited victim sensitivity. There were also statistically significant differences according to gender, in favor of females, and no statistically significant differences according to years of service.
