Data were collected with the "Demographic Information Form", "The Attitudes Towards Domestic Violence Scale (ATDV)", and "The Gender Roles Attitudes Scale (GRA)". Data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, 25th quarter and 75th quarter, Spearman's correlation analysis, and Mann Whitney U test. Results: The students had equalitarian gender roles and positive attitudes towards domestic violence. Spearman's correlation analysis indicated a positive moderate relation between the attitudes towards gender roles and domestic violence of the students (r=0.670, p<0.05).
