This study was generated to understand how Turkish university students perceive their country and the U.S.A. and how U.S.A. university students perceive their country and Turkey. Perceptions are people's realities, and they use their perceptions to make decisions, form opinions and behave based on them. Perceptions may have tremendous impacts on the economic and political future relations for both countries. The paper was conceived and conducted by university faculty from both Turkey (Bahcesehir University, Istanbul Turkey) and the U.S.A. (Robert Morris University, Pittsburgh, PA). The authors would like to thank their colleagues who had their students complete the surveys.
