Abstract:

This study was planned to study the attitudes of university students towards social gender roles in terms of variables such as gender, age, class in which they study, with 270 university students with different socio-demographic characteristics that continue to study in Turkey. The data of the study was evaluated in the SPSS.21 program. The research hypotheses tested the Difference Meaning Test (T test) between the two groups and the One Direction Variance Analysis (ANOVA) tests. In cases where statistically significant differences were found in the ANOVA result, the Tukey Test was used for dual comparisons in cases where the variants were homogeneous, and in cases where the variants were not homogeneous, the Tamhane's T2 Test was used. According to the results of the study, the average TCRTÖ score of students taking into the research scope is =162,58±30,55 and their attitudes towards social gender roles are in the equal direction. In addition, when the attitudes of students in relation to the social gender roles in terms of demographic and family characteristics were examined; there was no significant difference between the gender of students, the place where they lived while studying at the university, the mother and father’s educational levels, the total monthly income of the family and the TCRT scale and the subdimensions (p>0.05). However, it has been determined that students’ attitudes to social gender roles according to their age, class, level of perception of family income and family type, and their attitudes to “marriage gender roles” and “male gender roles” according to their majority of life, are statistically differentiated (p<0.05).
