Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 500 students studying at a private university in Ankara. "Personal Information Form," "Domestic Violence Attitude Scale (DVAS)" and “The Gender Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS)” were used for data collection. Results: A negative and weak correlation was found between the total mean scores of DVAS and GRAS among the students participating in the study (p <.01). Additionally, it was determined that 24% of the total variation in students’ attitudes towards domestic violence was explained by their attitudes towards gender roles. Conclusion: The results of the study show that students’ attitudes towards gender roles affect their attitudes towards domestic violence. Students with an egalitarian gender perspective exhibit an attitude against domestic violence. Therefore, approaches to develop an egalitarian gender perspective in individuals can be effective in preventing domestic violence, which is an important problem in all societies.}, number={1}, publisher={Marmara University}, organization={This research was supported within the scope of TÜBİTAK 2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program.}
