Ataturk University forms a working group of 1053 students who have studied in seven different faculties in the 2017-2018 educational year. The 'Personal Information Form' used in the study contains demographic information aimed at determining whether the participants have a close relationship with gender, faculty, class, the longest place of residence and the opposite gender. The 'social concern scale' of students was used to determine the social concern levels; the 'social gender roles attitude scale' was used to determine the social gender perceptions and the 'relationship-related cognitive distortions scale' was used to measure their cognitive distortions. The data was evaluated by visual analyses in the SPSS program, t-test for independent samples, one-way variance analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The assessments have found that there is a meaningful relationship between social anxiety and cognitive distortions in the positive direction, and between social anxiety and the perception of gender equality in the negative direction.

At the 4th level, the findings were achieved by social gender perceptions and the results were evaluated in the literature existence, and recommendations for future studies were presented.
