The sample of the study consists of 412 counseling students. As data collection tools, Demographic Data Form, Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, Interpersonal Reactivity Index, Adjective Based Personality Scale and Gender Role Attitudes Scale were used. Collected data were analyzed through SPSS 15.0 software. In the data analysis, multiple linear regression analysis was used.
