Abstract:

This study is designed to reveal the relationship between the positive thinking skills of university students and the interpersonal communication skills. Relationship searcher-identificator design has been used to determine the relationships between cuts and variables. Interpersonal communication skills are used in the study with the scale of positive thinking skills. According to the analysis, 67.6 percent of developers (n=275) are women, 32.4 percent (n=132) are men, and the overall score of positive thinking is x̄=15,36±4,44, the total score of interpersonal communication is x̄=99,10±12,66. The study found a meaningful relationship between the ability to think positively and gender (p<0.05). Similarly, a meaningful relationship has also been established between positive thinking skills and the total points and subfactors of interpersonal communication (communication principles and basic skills, self-expression, effective listening, and the willingness to establish nonverbal communication and communication).
