摘要：AbstractMigration is a phenomenon that increasing day by day, in these days it has affection on society and individual. When stress is evaluated as the adaptation effort against to changes of the organism these effects become much clearer. This survey aims to investigate the levels of trait anxiety of high school students who has internal migration or vice versa that lives in Mersin. The sample of the research consists of 100 students having internal migration and 100 students having not. Therefore, depending on the personal information forms, the frequency and percentage distributions of demographic features has been found. Afterwards, “Independent Groups T test” technique was used in studying trait anxiety levels of students having or not having experienced migration; “One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and “Independent Groups T-test” were used in case of homogeneity of variances so as to determine whether trait anxiety levels vary depending on socio-demographical features (parent education, income status, gender). According to the results of research, trait anxiety level of the high school students having internal migration are higher than the high school students don’t have internal migration. Decreasing of the income status of the family increases the anxiety levels of the students. The result of the trait anxiety levels of the student by gender; there are no statistically significant differences between female students and male students. Analysis results demonstrate that there is no meaningful relationship between trait anxiety levels of student and education level of fathers. The relationship between trait anxiety levels of student and education status of the mother is significant. Education level of the mothers rises, trait anxiety scores of students drop.
