Abstract:

This study has been carried out to investigate the attitudes behaviors of the students staying in students' dormitory of Baskent University against the sexual role patterns (woman-man conception). One hundred and thirty two male and 218 female out of 350 students who were residing at the dormitory composed the sample of this study. Two instruments, including the Woman-Man Understanding Attitude Scale and Identifier Information Forms were used to collect data. The mean score of students were X= 112.86 from the Woman-Man Understanding Attitude Scale. This result was higher than average score (X=100.00), which indicates that most of the students were under the influence of traditional perception of the sexual role patterns. It is recommended to arrange training programs towards changing the social sexual perceptions of the students in the university.
