%X The objective of this study was to assess dysfunctional attitudes of university students using personal variables such as gender; type of educational institute (i.e. which college faculty or school they currently attend, which type of high school they graduated from); perception of parents¡¯ attitudes; and socio-economic level. The study was conducted in the academic year of 2009-2010, with a total of 501 students randomly selected from 10 different faculties of Atat¨¹rk University in Erzurum Turkey. Data were collected using the ¡°Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, adapted to Turkey by  ahin and  ahin (1992). A ¡°Personal Information Form¡± was given to the students for collecting data about personal, organizational and social variables. The t test, one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis analysis were used in data analysis. The findings indicated that the dysfunctional attitudes of university students varied significantly according to gender (t (499)= -2.623, p=.009), and the faculty they attended (F(9), 491)= 4.659, p=.000). Dysfunctional attitudes did not show significant differences in terms of students¡¯ perception of their parents¡¯ attitudes, socio-economic level and type of high school they graduated from.
